We are talking about two different things:
* If you want to have a strip of text on a page that is displayed on the
bottom of the browser window it does not matter where it is loaded (by an
IIS automatic include, OnRequestEnd.cfm or whatever) -- the display in the
client has to be done by a) Frames, or b) CSS. The method I described
works in modern browsers, and is ignored by older. (Personally - I have
stopped sending css to Netscape 4 clients, they just get the bare
contents).
* To have some code/display included with every request, yes then you can
use some IIS settings, Application/OnRequestEnd.cfm etc.
For the latter: there are a number of arguments against having display
code in those two files, which is a different discussion (I think there
should be loads of info if you search the archives of this list).
Cheers,
Hugo

| IF its not good practice? What else do you suggest?
| Personally, I think css
| is quirky and causes more cross browser headaches than its
| really worth.
| Maybe my knowledge of css isn't wide enough to adequately
| implement them,
| but everything I have done/seen/read with css basically ends
| up sounding
| like this : "You can do this, but not with that browser you
| need to do this
| instead but that won't work with version x.x" and it just
| goes on and on...
| I actually cfinclude my headers and footers in Application.cfm and
| OnRequestEnd.cfm And I fail to see why this is such a bad
| idea? So I have
| decided to limit use of CSS in my sites to things that work on most
| browsers.

| Note that it is not good practice to use OnRequestEnd.cfm for
| any display
| outputs. (The same goes for Application.cfm)
|
| I understood that the Mickael's problem was not how to get something
| appended to every called template, rather how to get a
| display piece to be
| presented at the bottom of the browser window (no matter what
| template is
| called).

| | Mike, as Hugo stated definately avoid frames for this tip.
| |
| | Use the "OnRequestEnd.cfm" template.
| |
| | Unlike the "Application.cfm" template, OnRequestEnd.cfm is
| | executed AFTER
| | all other cfm templates. Very handy and I haven't worked out
| | a better way to
| | use it from what you require.
| |
| | In fact that is what I use for the "footer" at
| | www.actcfug.com. There IS a
| | way to use it with frames but it usually requires using
| | <CFABORT> at the end
| | of the template which probably isn't good practice - but it
| | works at any
| | rate. You could use the <CFABORT> method at the end of a
| | template in say a
| | small popup where your usual footer either does not "fit" or is not
| | appropriate.

| | Two ways:
| |
| | * Frames, I think you should avoid it for this case.
| | * CSS. I found a good way on the web somewhere (now link).
| | You can look at
| | the source and the css of this page, which uses a CSS
| | method to do this:
| | http://globalis.no/admin/ <http://globalis.no/admin/>

| | | Hello All,
| | |
| | | This is not exactly a coldfusion question but does

| | | standard footer at the bottom of the page. This works
| | fine when the
| | | content that is returned is more than once screen in my explorer
| | | window at my resolution.
| | |
| | | The problem that I am having is that some of the pages
| | have content
| | | that is returned and it is a little bit less one screen
| | so I see my
| | | footer then the remainder of the screen below the footer
| | which is not
| | | what the client wants.
| | |
| | | Is there a way to handle this?
| | |
| | | Thanks
