Working with textareas
I'd like to format the string given in a text area to output hyperlinks and images without my users having to know HTML. Is there an easy way to 'autolink' anything that starts with www or http? Similarly I'd like to change anything that begins with http and ends with either .jpg or .gif to so the image shows up in the output. Anyone care to give me a start :-)?? Thanks.

RE: BANNER AD PROGRAM
Ive been using http://www.e-zonemedia.com/fuseads/ Fuseads w/source code and it has performed quite well. I use a central add server as well. -Original Message- From: Jim McAtee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 5:03 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: BANNER AD PROGRAM William, I've also thought about using CFHTTP to pull ads from a dedicated ad server, but I'd think there would be serious performance problems. First, you're forced to lock CFHTTP until you've output the variable cfhttp.filecontent. Secondly, each page that CF returns doesn't get passed on to the web server until it's been completely rendered by CF. So if you have a lot of CF pages waiting on that single threaded CFHTTP that's pulling banners, it could become an enormous bottleneck. More so if you've got banner ads on every page of a busy site or family of sites. BTW, we're also using CentralAd. What a piece of unsupported garbage. If you're doing remote ad calls (ala doubleclick) the clickthroughs often end up going to the wrong place, or else the server is incapable of figuring it out at all and redirects to the 'default' ad's URL. It's a really problem when users are going through proxies and the like. I suspect as many as 10-20% of clickthroughs are being misdirected. When it gets busy, we also have a problem with their CGI's hanging on the ad server and having to be manually killed off to free up memory and CPU cycles.

RE: IIS Script Mapping Limit?
> Is there a real or practical limit (from a performance > standpoint) to the number of IIS script engine mappings > in IIS 4.0? Well, I don't know for sure. I do know, though, that by default when you map a file extension to an ISAPI extension, that ISAPI extension will be loaded in memory for the server's lifespan after the first request that uses the extension. So, you wouldn't want any more individual ISAPI extensions loaded than necessary. However, if you have a bunch of file extensions mapped to the same ISAPI extension, then it shouldn't matter.

Re: Credit Card DB Encryption Methodology
Another option would be to use an asymmetric encryption method alongside the process you described before. For this you use a public key stored on the server, but to decrypt the credit card number the operator needs to type in a private key. As this key is not stored on the server there is no security risk. You would then of course have to store the numbers twice, one encrypted with the user password, and one encrypted with the public/private key pair. - Original Message - From: "Tony Schreiber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2001 2:14 AM Subject: Re: Credit Card DB Encryption Methodology > Ok, I've been thinking about this.
