CF - jQuery - Javascript
Hi folks - I have a question that could probably fall into multiple categories on HOF, but I thought I would start with my default list! ;-) Anyway, here's my story: I have a web page split in half. Left half has different records being displayed. Right half has a form, which populates a set of tables, and then that information appears on the left half. This process is working. The current challenge is this: The Left side has different records appearing on it as mentioned, it's not an iFrame BTW - the records have an ID number. The user would click on the ID number, and then form on the Right gets populated with that record's details. What I am hoping to do is pass the ID number using jQuery to a CF form, that gets the data from a query, passes the data back, and then that data is told to go into the proper fields to be displayed. Here are my questions/statements: I can send information to the CFM page with the ID on it. 1) When I perform the CFSTOREDPROC and assign it to a resulting variable. What do I have to do to, or what commands are needed so that it can be taken back to the original calling page. 2) Once the data comes back, what format is the data in? If anybody wants to provide any other details that I could be overlooking, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Doug ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CF - jQuery - Javascript
You could use cfajaxproxy to get your recordset in json and then use jquery to populate the form fields with the values of each member of the json query object. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: CF - jQuery - Javascript
Hi, Doug... I don't know about the CFStoredProc part, but I would do it something like this: - run a query to return a list of the record numbers you want to click and display the record numbers (or person's name with ID attached) - display the record numbers with an id for each so jQuery can use the id to determine which record number is clicked - once a record number is clicked, use a jQuery ajax call to a component method which runs a query and retrieves the record information - at this point, you have a couple of options to get the information from the record to the calling page for display: 1. You can use cfSaveContent in the component method and write the CFML and HTML needed to create the page content, save the content to a variable, return the variable value in a struct to the calling and then use jQuery to append the variable values onto the calling page 2. Or you can just take the query values and assign them to a struct and return the struct value to the jQuery function and use Javascript code (such as out.push syntax) to insert the new CFML/HTML into the calling page I prefer, usually, to put the CFML and HTML into the variable as in possibility 1 above using cfSaveContent. That allows me to use CF's syntax to create the page content, which is an easier method for me, but I can use CF to jQuery to modify the page content. You don't need to use a CFForm or any form to make this work. Once you have the record numbers on your page with a link on each with an ID that jQuery can work with, you can use jQuery's AJAX functions to send and receive data back from a cfcomponent method and use jQuery to add the new record information to the right side of your page. You can specify the data format for the returned data from the component method I the URL for the component and method. For example: ../components/records.cfm?method=mGetRecordreturnFormat=json I know this seems broad, but that's just an overview. If you need help coding a solution, I'll be glad to help you work something out. I use CF and jQuery practically every day, especially using jQuery's AJAX functionality. Here's a sample of how this might look on the page: Ben Forta Name:Ben Forta Ray CamdenHobbies: Checkers, Backgammon Doug Ford Profession: CF Programmer, Adobe CF Evangelist When you click on a name on the left, the info on the right fades out, is retrieved and the new information is displayed via AJAX on the right. (links on all the names above, such as: a id=recordNumber-1 href=Ben Forta/a a id=recordNumber-2 href=Ray Camden/a a id=recordNumber-3 href=Doug Ford/a You could use jQuery to change the record name, such as Doug Ford to the color red when it is the record displayed. Quite a few options. Let me know what questions you have... It's late (1:17am!) and I'm tired from softball this evening, so I hope this makes sense. hth, Rick -Original Message- From: Doug Ford [mailto:doug.e.f...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 5:31 PM To: cf-talk Subject: CF - jQuery - Javascript Hi folks - I have a question that could probably fall into multiple categories on HOF, but I thought I would start with my default list! ;-) Anyway, here's my story: I have a web page split in half.

Re: CF - jQuery - Javascript
Use jQuery's getJSON() to call a CFC containing and returning your stored proc call. Make the returnType JSON and you'll get a JavaScript object. You can then assign various bits of the javasript object to your form, in the getJSON() callback. mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ On 7 April 2010 05:10, Doug Ford doug.e.f...@gmail.com wrote: Hi folks - I have a question that could probably fall into multiple categories on HOF, but I thought I would start with my default list! ;-) Anyway, here's my story: I have a web page split in half.

CF with Javascript
I'm working on a church site and there's some concern about the size of the screen versus the size of the monitor it's on. This includes random loading of photos and text. I've also had this concern on my wife's site. I'm currently calling a javascript function in body onload which reads the screensize and sets a cookie for width and a cookie for height. CF then reads those cookies and adjusts table widths, cell widths and heights, picks which images to load (same image, two sizes), etc. Seems to be working except once in awhile the program doesn't seem to pick up a change in screen size until you do a reload. When I look at Google topics on body onload they say to me that there's no guarantee body onload will fire the javascript (and, in my case, set the cookies) before other parts of the page load and - in my case - some of the CF code starts running. Comments on that? Any ideas on how to better do this? FWIW, some pages have content that I force to a small screen size. Some pages have a lot of info and, for people with bigger monitors, it will be a benefit to take advantage of that increased real estate.

CF or Javascript Suggestion
Hello all, I have a small project to do and I wanted to bounce an idea off of the community. The idea is this: I'm going to write some code that will allow a user to populate a dynamic menu drop down. Now, the code for the menu is already written. What I am doing is creating the tool for the user to: 1) Add an item to the menu Ex: Meaning if the main heading was say News, they could add under News item1, item2 etc 2) The user can edit the spelling and link of the item 3) The user can also change the order of the items. Ex: If this user wants item3 to go in the item1 slot they would change the order by clicking a button that would move the item in the list. What would be ideal, would be maybe a JavaScript menu where the user could control the order of the items and when they wanted to edit the items they would just click an edit button and edit the information they needed. When they are done, the menu order is saved to the database. If anyone has an example, suggestion or can point me in the right direction that would be great!

I have a question on mixing CF and Javascript.
Say I have the following with an onBlur event:
input type=textfield name=upc id=upc size=12 maxlength=12
onblur=lookUpUPC(this.value); /
Here is the JS for LookUpUPC()
function lookUpUPC(upc)
{
cfquery name=ckUPC datasource=#application.dsn#
SELECT Description, UnitPrice FROM Inventoryitems
WHERE upc = Cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar
value=upc;
/cfquery
cfif ckUPC.recordCount EQ 1
alert(UPC FOUND);
cfelse
alert(UPC NOT FOUND);
/cfif
}
When LookUpUPC fires I get just the alert boxes that I coded in for
information purposes. I tried hard coding the query with a valid upc
in the database and still I get UPC not found.
So I must be doing something wrong but I am not sure what.
Can anybody shed some light?

Re: Mixing CF and JavaScript.
You need to use AJAX. Basically, inside your lookUpUPC() function you
will make a call to a CFC that does the query and hands it back to the
javascript function to pupulate fields. Look into CFAjax.

In my opinion, this is one of the hardest things for new CFers to
understand. The key here is that the ColdFusion code is rendered
server-side and the javascript is executed client-side. For you, this
means that you can't do what you're trying to do the way you're trying
to do it. You're trying to execute server code in a client function.
You can accomplish the mission using AJaX, but not through inline
methods like these.
HTH.

RE: Mixing CF and JavaScript.
So I must be doing something wrong but I am not sure what. Can anybody shed some light? -Jason ColdFusion runs on the server and Javascript runs on the client and the two don't mix. Ok, they can be made to look like they mix with Ajax and other techniques, but this isn't beginner stuff. The first way you could do what you want is with the CFWDDX... tag. It can take the query and change it into a JS array; you then look up the values in the array. This gets heavy if the recordset is larger and exposes all the data to the user, so it is not often used. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA - | 1 | | - Binary Soduko | | | - C code.

Re: Mixing CF and JavaScript.
ColdFusion is server side. Once the page loads, CF is done.
JS is client side. You can't reference CF code inside of JS after the
page loads (not without getting AJAX-y).
you can create JS variables with CF:
script type=text/javascript
var myFoo = cfoutput#myQuery.foo#/cfoutput';
/script
if you view the source of that page after it loads, you'll see the JS
is valid. it's identical to using CF to create HTML.
However, once the page loads, you can no longer rely on CF to create
any client side code.
To do what you want, you'd use CF to create a JS array and your
onclick would use that array.

Re: Mixing CF and JavaScript.
Jason,
ColdFusion cannot be directly invoked from JavaScript without a interface to
call a service.
ColdFusion is processed and then the end result is passed through the web
server to your browser. At that point essentially, the page is static.
If you want interactivity, you have to call another page or service to
activate CF enabled templates. This is typically done in AJAX when using
JavaScript. You can do this also in Flash with Flex.

RE: Mixing CF and JavaScript.
Charlie and Ray, You can't do what he wants without something like Ajax. He is passing the UPC to a query and then doing something with the results in JavaScript. Yes, you can create JS vars with CF, but if you want to hit your DB like he's attempting, you'd use ajax or flash remoting. And comon', ajax is not very hard. To do what he wants with ajaxCFC would mean dropping the core files in, creating a basic CFC including his cfquery, and then cfreturn the result. I'd imagine it's similar in mxajax. -Original Message- From: Charlie Griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2006 11:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Mixing CF and JavaScript. yeah, that's why I threw in the mention of AJAX, but really didn't pursue that as the solution.

Re: Mixing CF and JavaScript.
You can do exactly what he wants by loading the data into a JS array. Then his function would simply look in the array rather than trying to do a query. the cfquery in his function is querying for a specific record based on a value passed to the function. if he does a query without the WHERE and loops over that query, he can create a JS array easily.

Why can't he hit the DB with CF, return a structure, and search on that? I guess I'm missing your point as to why he can't do what he wants without having to use AJAX or Flash remoting or FLEX.

Re: Mixing CF and JavaScript.
I reviewed every one's response so far and I did like a single one. I would use a bakery analogy. For example CF is like a cake it gets baked first then the sweet buttery javascript icing goes last. The two don't mix well. To cut the layers you need a fork called AJAX bla bla bla. What you need to do is change things around and make Javascript into a cake too and CF the cake next to your new js cake of pure icing. When people eat your cake they dream of eating the CF cake. Those wishfull day dreams are called HXMLHttpRequest bla bla bla because JS longs to be a reasonable cake. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:260430 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Heres my .02 Do an iframe with the variable in the Url of the iframe. Do an onblur event on the field to reload the iframe. Put your Query and Display element in the iframe. I say this because if your doing a query on a DB with millions of records an aray might not be a good idea.?

RE: CF and JavaScript
Can you use cf tags inside of JavaScript? Yes. However, you must remember that your CF code is executed on the server, and will execute before the client even sees your Javascript code. So, they can't intermingle at runtime in any useful way - there are two runtimes, CF on the server and JS on the client.

I don't run into javascript errors, because some of the data has the
apostrophes?

You need to escape those characters, so in your coldfusion you will need to
search for those and append an / before the quote. Then when you insert it
into your javascript you will not have issues.

I have a question. Can you use cf tags inside of JavaScript?

Here's a hangup that I am having. I'm dynamically outputting data into
javascript, such as first and last names. Some of the last names in the
database have apostrophe's in them, like O'neill, O'Connor, etc. How
would I go about fixing the data so when the data is dynamically output,
I don't run into javascript errors, because some of the data has the
apostrophes?
Here is the code:
HINTS_ITEMS = {
cfloop query=fsisinfo

#id#0:'table cellpadding=5 cellpadding=5

Know with cf if Javascript is enabled?
Hey guys, Does anyone know a way that I can let coldfusion know if javascript is enabled in a browser or not? I would like to set a session variable that tells me this so I can dynamically show a message if it is not enabled. I would like to be able to do this without the user having to do anything. We are automatically logging people in using ntauthentication on this site, so I would like it to check during that process and set a cf variable. I need it to work primarily in IE 6+ but it would be nice if it worked in FF as well. My google searches so far this morning haven't come up with anything that worked. There is the noscript tag, but it isn't evaluated until the browser gets the page and so there is no way for coldfusion to evaluate it. Plus it doesnt seem to work in firefox or IE either anyway.

RE: Know with cf if Javascript is enabled?
You could also use JS to set a hidden field value when your first page loads. Then any subsequent pages can check that value. You might even get fancy with some cfincludes and have one set a value, and the next check it. I'm not sure if that would work or not, but it may be a way to have your first page find out if JS is enabled or not. -Original Message- From: Ryan Guill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 8:18 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Know with cf if Javascript is enabled?

Re: Know with cf if Javascript is enabled?
I use something to test if pop-ups are not disabled, could usi it as well for javascript. In the login page, I have a script that opens a pop-up. The template called sets up a session variable that says pop-up enabled. Then the code returned closes the pop-up.

Re: Know with cf if Javascript is enabled?
thanks guys. After discussing it some more we found that the easiest
thing for now is to just use the noscript, which is working, I was
doing something silly before. We probably will change it later, but
this works fine for now.
Thanks for all the help guys, its appreciated.

RE: HELP. CF and JavaScript question - Thanks
From the Netscape _javascript_ 1.3 Client Reference ?: (Conditional operator) The conditional operator is the only _javascript_ operator that takes three operands. This operator is frequently used as a shortcut for the if statement. Syntax condition ? expr1 : expr2 Parameters condition : an _expression_ that evaluates to true or false expr1,expr2 : Expressions with values of any type. Description If condition is true, the operator returns the value of expr1; otherwise, it returns the value of expr2. For example, to display a different message based on the value of the isMember variable, you could use this statement: document.write (The fee is + (isMember ? $2.00 : $10.00)) Marlon -Original Message- From: Kevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 5:13 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: HELP.

Re: HELP. CF and JavaScript question
OK You could do it with WDDX -- CF has a tag, cfwddx, that converts/transmits CF arrays on the server to _javascript_ arrays on the client. CFWDDX is the easiest way to go if you have a small number of users and a small amount of data. CFWDDX sends/receives the data and the _javascript_ code (about 22K) to manipulate the data on the client. Your data would be about 100 characters for each customer, so: 100 x 50 customers = 5,000 characters of raw data for 50 customers 5,000 x 256% wddx packet (XML) overhead * = 12,800 of data and XML 12,800 data XML + 12k wddx js code = approximately 25K of data being sent, over and above the html in the page. So, how many of these 25K hitsdo you expect concurrently. If just a few, WDDX is prolly OK. But if the number of customers or number of concurrent users grows significantly, you will have a bandwidth problem. There are other ways to accomplish this at much less overhead -- one is the concept of thinArrays, This is an open-source solution that requires a little (not much) more work on your part than the wddx tag I will send you a write off list because it is too big to post. Then look at cfwddx vs thinArrays decide what's best for you. * the 256% wddx overhead is approximate, but was observed in several typical applications By contrast, thinArrays add approcimately 13% Overhead HTH Dick The reason there are two senators for each state is so that one can be the designated driver. -Jay Leno - On Jul 26, 2004, at 3:04 AM, Kevin wrote: Hi again, Well, the number of customers are probably going to be around 10 - 20 to start, but I am not sure of the totals as I had neglected to ask that question. :-( For now I would feel safe with 50 as a total number of customers.

Re: HELP. CF and JavaScript question
Yes Kevin, that is exactly the way you would do it... I think. Do a google on 2 dimensional _javascript_ array to get the syntax just right. As a suggestion, give it a go anyway, and see what happens :) the worst that can happen is you get errors and we'll help you with them.

Thanks Pascal,
I read the pages on the wddx object and got the query loaded into an
array.
Problem is I am now unsure how to reference it. :-( Unfortunately the
docs
are not very specific on the syntax to actually use and reference the
array.
Or at least not to a newbie. :-( If I post the code generated by it
that
builds the array, can someone help me match the proper array element

RE: HELP. CF and JavaScript question - Thanks
Hey Peter!
THANKS!!! I was able to decipher the code and adapt it t my form design and
query. Now that I have implemented it once I shall be able to do this again
on my own. I thank you from the bottom of my heart! You saved my day. :-D
I have one more question if you don't mind. On some one of the fields it is
possible to have a null value. (addressLine2) In those cases it places
null into the field value. Is there a simple check I can place inside the
Populate function to replace the null with a blank space? Something like:
If(qj.getField(I,addressLine2) = ) {
f.addressLine2.value = ;
} else {
f.addressLine2.value = qj.getField(i,addressLine2);
}

Re: HELP. CF and JavaScript question
Well, WDDX gives you some well defined and documented ways of handling
a recordset with _javascript_, on the client -- and approximates the way
you handle a recordset with CF.
In fact, if you look at the code that cfwddx generates it is similar to
yours:
// Use WDDX to move from CFML data to _javascript_
qj = new WddxRecordset();
col0 = new Array();
col0[0] = 1;
col0[1] = 2;
*
*
*
col0[13] = 14;
col0[14] = 15;
qj[emp_id] = col0;
col0 = null;
col1 = new Array();
col1[0] = Peterson;
col1[1] = Heartsdale;
*
*
*
col1[13] = Reardon;
col1[14] = Barnes;
The extra array gives an approximation of the record set.
But, setting each array entry, individually (your example or wddx) is
verbose(256% overhead, observed in bandwidth RAM) and inefficient
(parse/serialize/deserialize)
You could do it all with 13% overhead and 1 js command and 1 array:
myList = 1|2|...|13|14|Peterson|Heartsdale|...|Reardon|Barnes|...|;
myArray= myList.split('|');
I generalized this a little into a concept I call thinArray.
which looks like this (you should display this in a fixed-width font,
and no wrap):
|6 | Emp_ID | LastName | FirstName | Department | Phone | email | 1
| Peterson | Carolyn | Sales | (612) 832-7654 | CPETERSON | 2 | Smith |

Hey Pascal,
It was the null value that for some reason was outputting as a string
null. Funny thing was it only happened on the records that I had entered
using Access. The records I entered with my CF form and no value in that
field came out fine. In any case I added the function and the extra code to
that line (and a few others I wanted to make sure had nothing for output is
there was a null value g) and all works great.
I did want to ask a question on the syntax you used in the function. I
looked and searched the _javascript_ Docs and google and could not get any
explanation to my question.
Return(val==null)?:val;

checking form elements in CF with JavaScript
Hi all,
Im trying to use a simple _javascript_ form validation with my CF code. The
validation should check both text fields and radio buttons/checkboxes. So
far the radio button part does not work. This is the code:
script language='_javascript_'
!--
function check_form()
{
for (i = 0; i document.forms[0].elements.length; i++)
{
checkElement = document.forms[0].elements[i];
if (checkElement.name == 'InstEthn') {if (checkElement.value.length 255)
{ alert(text too long.); return false;} }
if (checkElement.name == 'InstLang') {if (checkElement.value.length 255)
{ alert(text too long.); return false;} }
if (checkElement.name == 'InstEthn') {if (checkElement.value.length 1) {
alert(The Instructor Ethnicity field is empty.); return false;}}
if (checkElement.name == 'InstLang') {if (checkElement.value.group1 ==
undefined) { alert(Question 3 was not answered.); return false;}}
As it is now, the InstLang field gives the user the Question 3 was not
answered message, even when that radio button is checked.
Any alternatives/fixes for this code?
Thanks a lot,

click a checkbox called "Same Billing Info" which Prepopulates all of

As long as they're populated from the same query, then it's (relatively)

I tend to use elements[] as a rule, but it could be done as

I haven't tested this, but I'm pretty sure it'll work
