Here's one way I do it, very simple and does not try to get into specific solutions
for specific errors:
Surround your entire page in
<CFTRY></CFTRY>
and, just before the /CFTRY, plug in this:
<CFCATCH TYPE="MissingInclude"><CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="catch_include.cfm"></CFCATCH>
<CFCATCH TYPE="Database"><CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="catch_database.cfm"></CFCATCH>
<CFCATCH TYPE="Any"><CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="catch_any.cfm"></CFCATCH>
These transmit slightly different errmsgs depending on the error type.
Here's catch_any.cfm. Its set up so if I'm on my dev server it just displays an error
scrn rather than emailing anything anywhere. uhoh.cfm, referenced at bottom, is a
kind/gentle ''Oops'' html page displayed to the unlucky visitor.
A site-wide error handler implemented via Administrator is a better way to do this,
IMHO. But you need server admin access to go there.

I'm building an error-trapping template which I'd like to be automatically
emailed to me. I've figured out how to use CFERROR to display the problem
to the screen, but how do I go about sending that to me automatically?
There must be something I'm missing here. Is it perhaps a javascript
technique that automatically posts the contents of a form on the same page?
I'm curious to know how everyone else handles this.
Thanks.
