RE: Could Not Delete From Specified Tables
Patty: When you go into the relationships window in Access 2000, you can add your tables (which I gather you've done) to the diagram and then specify which fields match up, whether to enforce referential integrity between them, and what join type they use. Basically once you relate a primary key to other fields, those fields are considered foreign keys to the primary. So you only want one primary key called cabinID in the cabins table. The cabinID fields in the other two tables, the photo tables, will be foreign keys, which you don't have to specify directly. Basically they can even be foreign keys if you DON'T specify a relationship between them and the primary key, however as a best practice you want to have the database do as much work as possible so you don't have to manually enforce the relationships or cascade update and delete manually within your code. I've responded more below under your questions: -Original Message- From: P@tty Ayers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 7:59 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Could Not Delete From Specified Tables Andy - Thanks for your response. (Still welcoming any help from others as well..) Do you mean you have a primary key called photoID in this table as a primary key? cabinID in this table should be a foreign key, related to the cabins table. Okay, I just checked and no, actually I didn't make photoID in the table 'photos' a primary key. I *did* make 'otherphotoID' in 'otherphotos' a primary key. Let me see if I am understanding you - should the two secondary tables, each which have a 'cabinID' column, each have 'cabinID' as a foreigh key, and neither should have a primary key? Both should have a primary key (again as a good database design practice, but not always necessary). Name the keys whatever you want. I suggest photoID and otherphotoID, as you have it now. Both should also have cabinID as a foreign key, related to the primary key cabinID in the cabins table. And (forgive my ignorance) how do I make a foreign key? I'm looking in Access's help files and a reference book, but haven't found it yet. In the relationships window, you can specify which keys are related. You can, for instance, click on the primary key in cabins (cabinID), hold down the mouse button and drag to the foreign key in photos (cabinID). A box will pop up (I take it you might've done this already) where you can specify more options for how the fields are related, join types, and more.

RE: Scheduled tasks using CF
cfscheduler is renown for being unreliable - we've had two examples of scheduled events working fine on a daily basis for over a year or so, then failing completely - either not running at all, or having to be manually triggered in the administrator, or running but outputting 0kb size files. First case scenario was CF 4.01 Enterprise running on Solaris/Unix box - problem was fixed when back-ups of admin settings were re-instated - cause - never found Second case scenario was CF 4.5 Professional running on IIS/NT4 box - problem is still not resolved, have had to resort to changing the live site to call the dynamic page that was previously being called to print the static page via scheduler - cause - still not found - Allaire and usergroups have not been able to assist - have tried everything from start/stop, reinstall, remove/reinstate, upgrade and kicking the f**ker Hope this helped James "Remember amateurs built the ark...

RE: OT But Urgent - Knock CF if you dare
This is going to sound annoyingly familiar, but: Most security holes in ColdFusion are not the product of ColdFusion, but faults of the underlying webserver (e.g. IIS), and this is not going to change between ASP and ColdFusion. Apart from that (and maybe a side note about Netegrity), I think this is really THE SAME DISCUSSION AS SCALABILITY -- it's not the language that is insecure, it's the code and architecture you build with it. If you're letting SQL statement parameters come through the URL without checking them first, if you're not filtering your form data, if you aren't preventing users from running includes directly, then your application is insecure in both ASP and ColdFusion. I could go on and on about this, but since pages and pages have been generated over the scalibility issue, and since I really think it's the exact same issue, and since the song is inherently boring to the choir, I'll stop. But go through the list archive and look at the scalability discussion, particularly at Doug Nottage's and Dave Watt's posts on this which I think were very good. Then tell your client the most important question is not what is the better language. It's who is the better firm.

Re: Hosting recommendations
Robert, Customers, without enough information, draw their own conclusions about the cause of downtime. I don't know what you do, but CFHosting shows the courtesy of sending out announcements following outages to explain why they happened. When I know some yo-yo in downtown Atlanta cut a fiber optic line, I tend not to be irritated with CFHosting. It's not a bad strategy. While your servers may be up 99.7% of the time, other factors cause downtime, too. Sending accurate information to customers should lessen the griping.

hey, yes, there is a problem on NT that the daylight savings time does not properly adjust the system time... the tray time will display proper time but the time is off in other things that call it from the system... this is suppose to self correct itself after the Arpil 8th... or you can go into the control panel and remove the check from "automatically adjust time for daylight savings" and set the time and it will be back to normal...

RE: CF Time off by an hour?
We are having the same problem with one of our servers. According to Allaire, it is a problem with the Visual C++ that was used to create Cold Fusion. It doesn't recognize April 1st as the first day of Daylight Savings. It recognizes April 8th. This means that it should correct itself on Sunday. The other fix is to upgrade to 4.5.1 because the problem has been fixed since that version. http://forums.allaire.com/DevConf/Thread.cfm?Message_ID=691270_#Message69 1270 http://forums.allaire.com/DevConf/Thread.cfm?Message_ID=690790_#Message69 0790 -Original Message- From: Scott Becker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 7:08 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CF Time off by an hour?

Write your own javascript to validate the select box. The problem is that with a "single" select box there is always something selected. Using a multi-select box, the validation in CFFORM works just fine. You used to be able to modify the javascript that CFFORM used, but that changed with 4.0x.

RE: cfselect required='yes' is useless....
Well no offense, think about what you just stated. Using the Required="Yes" function means You REQUIRE a value thus the field will never be NULL. Thus why would you want a NULL value or NOT Select an item in the select. If you want a case where a user does not have to select a field within the select simply use: Required="No" The Required="Yes" allows a JavaScript message to display when the USER has not selected anything from that box. I think it is useful given the situation. -Original Message- From: Jeremy Castonguay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 9:23 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: cfselect required='yes' is useless cfselect What were they thinking.

Re: cfselect required='yes' is useless....
It's only useless on a select box with a size of 1. On a select box with a size greater then 1, it works fine, and is useful. What you could do, is crib the CFSELECT validation Javascript, add in your own code for Single Size Selects, and hook it up to the CFFORM validation routine, and just use a SELECT and loop over your OPTIONS instead of using a CFSELECT.

Re: cfselect required='yes' is useless....
The issue is that the idea is to force a selection, ie: an entry that has a value. Most of us use a "blank" option to start with as you show. Unfortunately the cfselect produced javascript does not properly handle this issue. In a single select box something is always selected.

Re: Could Not Delete From Specified Tables
Andy - Thank you very much for this response. I think I understand a lot better, and I'm reading the Access book and database theory book to get a better grip on this. I'm considering re-building my database now, which is why I'm not pursuing this particular question further. I think it could be improved upon greatly and I might be able to avoid a lot of similar problems. Thanks again, P@tty Patty: When you go into the relationships window in Access 2000, you can add your tables (which I gather you've done) to the diagram and then specify which fields match up, whether to enforce referential integrity between them, and what join type they use. Basically once you relate a primary key to other fields, those fields are considered foreign keys to the primary. So you only want one primary key called cabinID in the cabins table. The cabinID fields in the other two tables, the photo tables, will be foreign keys, which you don't have to specify directly. Basically they can even be foreign keys if you DON'T specify a relationship between them and the primary key, however as a best practice you want to have the database do as much work as possible so you don't have to manually enforce the relationships or cascade update and delete manually within your code. I've responded more below under your questions: -Original Message- From: P@tty Ayers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 7:59 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Could Not Delete From Specified Tables Andy - Thanks for your response. (Still welcoming any help from others as well..) Do you mean you have a primary key called photoID in this table as a primary key? cabinID in this table should be a foreign key, related to the cabins table. Okay, I just checked and no, actually I didn't make photoID in the table 'photos' a primary key. I *did* make 'otherphotoID' in 'otherphotos' a primary key. Let me see if I am understanding you - should the two secondary tables, each which have a 'cabinID' column, each have 'cabinID' as a foreigh key, and neither should have a primary key? Both should have a primary key (again as a good database design practice, but not always necessary). Name the keys whatever you want. I suggest photoID and otherphotoID, as you have it now. Both should also have cabinID as a foreign key, related to the primary key cabinID in the cabins table. And (forgive my ignorance) how do I make a foreign key? I'm looking in Access's help files and a reference book, but haven't found it yet. In the relationships window, you can specify which keys are related. You can, for instance, click on the primary key in cabins (cabinID), hold down the mouse button and drag to the foreign key in photos (cabinID). A box will pop up (I take it you might've done this already) where you can specify more options for how the fields are related, join types, and more.

Re: Could Not Delete From Specified Tables
Ben - Thanks very much for this response. I have the feeling I've built this database incorrectly, and I'm considering re-doing it. I will keep you posted! Appreciate your help, P@tty P@tty, If you have the tables related, with 'cabins' as the "parent" table, you cannot normally delete a 'cabins' record while there exist "child" records in 'photos' or 'otherphotos' with the same key (cabinID). You can use cascading delete in Access to do this. (As in "flows downhill".) Or, you can first delete all the photos for that cabinID, and subsequently delete the cabin record. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: chat room application
Depending on the client's connection, auto-refresh the message frame could
be annoying at best.
I can envision a way of doing this entirely in Javascript using frames where
you could autorefresh a "hidden" frame (one that doesn't draw anything),
then use JS to check when a certain control field in that frame changes and
update the main window, perhaps mainly a textarea box. Along the same
lines, the "send a message" client frame would post to a script on your
server that would cause the hidden frame's server source file to update.
Getting it all to work out would be pretty cool...but not specifically cold
fusion. The real trick of it all would be in the javascript; you could use
CF to create the source pages, but thats about the limit of it.
For grins and giggles, heres what I see the logic of individual frames would
be:
Frame:Submit, contains an input box and submit button. Action=post to
server
Frame:MainWindow, contains a textarea for messages and a hidden field called
"lastMessage"
Frame:JSControl, contains some javascript, a variable number of hidden
fields and a meta refresh tag, time delayed 5-10 seconds
The javascript would run everytime the page loads:
int lastMessage=MainWindow.lastMessage
while (there are messages in this frame later than
MainWindow.lastMessage )
{
get the message and message#
append it to MainWindow.TextArea1
set MainWindow.lastMessage = this message number
}
On the server side, you would save the messages in some way, perhaps in a
database; every time you get a post, age out the oldest one and add the
newer one. The JSControl page would refresh and rebuild the message list
from the database. The action page (when they post a message) would
maintain the database and then redirect the client back to the original
framed pages.

Tag Resource Index
I'm sure many of you have seen the CGI Resource Index (cgi-resources.com). Matt Wright has Perl and other scripts there (much like the Developers Exchange) but they are categorized more clearly PLUS you can rate the scripts. Members can comment on the scripts. Was it real or am I imagining that there was talk of Michael making a script depot at HoF? Is this correct Michael? If so, do you plan to make it so the tags can be rated. Most tags in the Dev Ex are very good. I've had a couple that were not really very useful though, and it would have been good to know what those who used the tags before me thought before I tried it. What do some of you others think? Myself, I find the format at CGI Resource Index very friendly. I use it all the time.

Re: OT But Urgent - Knock CF if you dare
Daryl,
Here's my take on the issue , taken from another list:
johnnyb wrote:
Is there any resources comparing these 3 server models - ASP, CF and JSP? What would
be the
main advantages/disadvantages of each?
Johnny,
Unless you're strongly into Visual Basic Script or JavaScript, CF is
easier to use and learn. For instance, to do a simple query in ASP, it
takes about 10 to 20 lines to query the database and then output the
information to a web page. In contrast CF can do the exact same task in
6 to 8 lines. ColdFusion is easier to use, less cryptic and more
powerful. If you know HTML you know about most of what it takes to code
a basic Cold Fusion Page. In contrast ASP has a much steeper learning
curve.
There's a pretty good review of Cold Fusion at
http://www.zdnet.com/products/stories/reviews/0,4161,402300,00.html
In the same set they also compare other technologies.
Compare how long does it take the average developer to set up a database
enabled site in CF, ASP or whatever. CF is much more of a rapid
development environment and considerably more efficient and
understandable. For example, the following ASP script connects to a
database and outputs the results to a browser:
%
Set OBJdbConnection =
Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
OBJdbConnection.Open "nba_membership"
SQLQuery = "Select id, business FROM Directory"
Set RSCustomers = OBJdbConnection.Execute(SQLQuery)
Do Until rsCustomers.EOF
Response.Write (rsCustomers("ID") " " rsCustomers("Business"))
rsCustomers.MoveNext
Loop
%
The same code in ColdFusion looks like this:
cfquery name="rsCustomers" datasource="nba_membership"
select id, business from directory
/cfquery
cfoutput query="rsCustomers"#id# #business#/cfoutput
ASP take 9 lines to query the database and return the results to the
browser, CF does it in 4. Both snippets do the exact same thing, but the
ColdFusion code does it more elegantly and far more simply. It uses
fewer commands, and those commands make a lot more sense. It doesn't
take a genius to figure out what cfquery and cfoutput do. The ASP is
a lot less intuitive. Also CF has integrated POP and SMTP mail
components, is fully integrated with LDAP, and has a native search
engine built into it based on the very powerful Verity97 search engine.
Elsewhere in this newsgroup some have been asking how to set up a
search. In CF its fully integrated into the server. You typically have
to pay extra for those components with ASP.
The result is that developers take far less time to develop an effective
and usable site. When you are paying developers $65 per hour or more to
develop the site, if a CF developer can set up the site in 6 hours vs.
18 or more for ASP or whatever, then you've paid for the ColdFusion
server with the money you've saved in a very short time.

Keep looking Owen. CF sites are as cheap to host as ASP sites, cheaper
if you consider the number of security holes that ASP introduces to your
server. There are free ColdFusion hosting companies, such as
http://www.cfm-resources.com/. There are also some very low cost ones
like http://www.Shanje.com or http://icn.net/, both of which charge
around $15 to $25 for CF hosting.
Additionally CF works with Unix, Linux (all flavors apparently, but I
have not tested it yet), and NT. You need expensive add-ons to get ASP
to work with Unix. The last I heard Linux has no ASP support
There are several versions of the Cold Fusion Server - the FREE
ColdFusion Express, ColdFusion Professional for $1200, and the $3000
ColdFusion Enterprise Server. The version of the CF Server that comes
with UltraDev is the single user development version of CF Enterprise.
Remember too that cost of ownership is a significant factor. With longer
development times, more security concerns, etc., the cost of ownership
is far higher for ASP than CF. I'm going to focus here on development
costs.
Lets say you costing an ASP or CF programmer at $65 an hour. They are
developing 2 dynamic sites that do the exact same thing. The CF
programmer will probably take less than half the amount of time to
deliver a site than the ASP person, everything else considered equal -
remember the 4 lines vs 9 lines of code? And at $65 per hour, that's a
significantly lower cost to the client who is paying the bills.
ASP(VBScript) is also probably easiest to pick up if your not from a
programming background.
I think I've covered that one already. ASP can be quite obscure and
difficult to understand especially to newbies. Consider this output
snippet again:
Do Until rsCustomers.EOF
Response.Write (rsCustomers("ID") " " rsCustomers("Business"))
rsCustomers.MoveNext
Loop
%
This loops through the output dataset and displays it onscreen. For a
new learner

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do, but try something like this - SELECT Products.product_ID FROMProducts WHERE NOT EXISTS( SELECT Product_ID FROM StoreProducts WHERE Product_ID = Products.Product_ID AND Company_ID = Products.Company_ID ) That should get all Products from the Products table without a matching record in the storeProducts table.

RE: Urgent - load: class allire.controls.cfGridFormApplet error
I have a cfgrid that works excellent on my dev machine, but as soon as I try and look at it on another machine, I get the following error on the status line. Any instant help on this would be great. "load: class allaire.controls.cfGridFormApplet not found" Make sure that the CFIDE directory is available for that virtual server. You should be able to go to this URL: http://www.yourservernamehere.com/cfide/ If you receive a 404 error, you don't have the necessary mapping. As for why it works with your dev machine, once the applets have been installed using the IE CAB file, they'll work whether the mapping exists or not.

Re: HTML Email Detection
This operation is basically the same as when you detect a client's web browser. Most modern email clients send a header (X-Mailer) indicating the email client type. Here's an example: X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 So, there are several caveats: 1 - you must have already received an email from the intended recipient 2 - you must have already parsed out the X-Mailer header 3 - you need a list of the capabilities of each type of mail client One way to attempt to satisfy most email clients (most but definitely not all) is to send the mail in both formats within the same MIME-encoded email message. Or - you can do this the old-fashioned way - ask the user what format they wish to receive mail in and keep a database of their preferences.

You'll need to have a computed column in your query which contains only the

In MS-SQL, you could use CONVERT(varchar(8),date,2) AS theDay

Re: HTML Email Detection
Well, maybe it's not quite the same, but I sort of took care of it on the back end. In my database, I placed a yes/no field to check if they had html email, the default setting was 'no', so any new person added to the database was automatically sent a 'welcome' mail when they were added letting them know that they've been added to a amiling list, and they will be recieving text based email newsletters. If the user has the ability to view html formatted emails, they simply click on a link which takes them to a page that switches that yes/no to 'yes', then generates a html confirmation email. That way it's all fairly automatic, and you don't have to do anything...

What about on the client side could they trigger an event with JS or VBS when they open the mail that detects whether or not their email browser can render HTML? Thanks for the help.

RE: Hosting recommendations
This reminds me of the time I developed a big CF website for this Head Hunter startup, worked day and night for a month to get it up on time (before Fusebox), and gave them a good development price thinking of long term hosting. After 3 months they moved it to another hosting company. One of the reasons they gave for moving was the new hosting company gave them a guarantee of 99% uptime. 2 days later (I'm slow) the meaning of 99% hit me and I called and thanked them for a great marketing scam (although I never used it). I told them 99% uptime was an average of 14.4 minutes downtime each day, and (1) I would consider such a server unstable, and (2) None of our servers had ever been down that much. best, paul At 03:00 PM 4/6/01 -0400, you wrote: Just FYI, 99.7% uptime means that there is over 26 hours of down time each year.

Bug in rereplace() function
Hi, I wanted to alert everyone that there is a bug (confirmed) in the rereplace() fuction in CF 5.0 AND also in 4.5.1 SP2. This bug caused us much greif in that it generated pcode errors and crashed our servers frequently. It seems to occur primarily when you are parsing large blocks in content with the ALL parameter. We were using it in a RemoveWhiteSpace tag removing whitespace from Spectra pages. The following are the bug report numbers for CF 5.0. "The rereplace( ) function has a known bug reported in bug #23110 and as a duplicate bug #23071" Once we stopped using this all our problems have cleared up. Currently there is not hotfix for it.

RE: HTML Email Detection
How do you send more than one format with mime encoded? Robert Everland III Web Developer Dixon Ticonderoga -Original Message- From: Howie Hamlin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 3:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: HTML Email Detection This operation is basically the same as when you detect a client's web browser. Most modern email clients send a header (X-Mailer) indicating the email client type. Here's an example: X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 So, there are several caveats: 1 - you must have already received an email from the intended recipient 2 - you must have already parsed out the X-Mailer header 3 - you need a list of the capabilities of each type of mail client One way to attempt to satisfy most email clients (most but definitely not all) is to send the mail in both formats within the same MIME-encoded email message. Or - you can do this the old-fashioned way - ask the user what format they wish to receive mail in and keep a database of their preferences.

RE: Recommended JSP IDE on linux?
It is my understanding that Kawa is a visual tool for beans and servlets. Jrun Studio is the bells and whistles Allaire JSP editor, but sadly, they have no intention at this time of porting any visual tools to Linux.

Hi all, I am leaving the CF world for a while to do a JSP project over the summer. It will be on linux. The company has Visual Age, but say I can use any IDE I want. I have read that Visual Age does not have great JSP support. Does anyone have a good recommendation?
