Need to prevent javascript from being submitted in form
I have a form with a number of text and textarea fields. Information submitted is then written to a SQL Server Database.

RE: Browserhawk, 2
Hi Been a while since I used it but from what I can remember the docs said something about full support for cf. However when we wanted to do specific things (cant remember what) but I remember it was important for the particular project, the docs said that in order to achieve what we wanted to do using browser hawk we needed to use an asp bridge. i.e. some of the features only worked with asp. This was a while ago so I would get an evaluation if there is one available and play with it. It really depends on what exactly you need it for.

RE: CFERROR e-mail
Thank you Dave Matt for clarifying this for me... I have found that it is good to use both cferror tags; most error WILL be caught by the exception tag and you will be automatically notified. Some errors (I've never figured out exactly which ones) slip through and your user may click on the mailto link. Not all errors are exceptions. An exception is a specific type of error that happens only at runtime. Other errors may happen before runtime; for example, if you misspell a CFML tag, the server won't be able to parse the page, and you'll get an error before runtime. Generally speaking, the difference between an error and an exception is that you can programmatically recover from an exception, but not an error. __ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
Setting a dynamically built list as a session variable.

Hi,
I have a form page that creates a list of checkboxes that have been
populated by a loop. Like this:
cfloop query=get_bus_type
tr
td class=tablefeature #bus_type#/td
td width=80 align=center
class=tablefeatureinput type=checkbox
name=business_types#get_bus_type.currentRow# value=#bus_type# /td
/tr
/cfloop
Each checkbox name has to have its own name as I am using a JavaScript
function to check and uncheck all of them at the same time. So they need to
be individually check by the JS function to see if they are checked or not.
Here is my JS function:
script language=JavaScript
!-- Begin
function checkAll() {
for (var j = 1; j = 17; j++) {
box = eval(document.BusinessType.business_types + j); {
if (box.checked == false) {
box.checked = true;
} else if(box.checked == true){
box.checked = false;
}
}
}
// End --
/script
In my action page I want to set all the passed/checked checkboxes as one
single session variable so it can be used later on in another page.
My question is how can I create this session variable from this dynamic list
of form variables?

RE: Setting a dynamically built list as a session variable.
Stephen,
What I did was to produce a string of it, with ones and zeroes, and the
different parameters alphabetically like 101010012. This generated through
a loop of the different checkboxes alphabetically. Not a very beautiful
solution, but it works. Since it is a session var, it shouldn't matter too
much if you later add or delete on checkbox (if it was a client var, then
that would screw up that string...)

RE: Setting a dynamically built list as a session variable.
When you loop through in Javascript,
set a variable which will append the values of the checked
boxes,
I'm not sure which if block you want to do it in as you are unchecking
checked boxes and checking unchecked,
so I take it you mean the ones you are checking,
var checkList = ''
if (box.checked == false) {
box.checked = true;
if(checkList != ''){
checkList += , + get the checkbox value
}else{
checkList = , get the checkbox value
}
} else if(box.checked == true){
box.checked = false;
}
}
function setSession(checkList){
location.href = setSession.cfm?sessionData= + checkList
}
session.cfm,
if you out put the url var,
say something like this,
url.checklist
1,2,3,4,5,6
cfset session.checklist=url.checklist
that should work

RE: Setting a dynamically built list as a session variable.
Hi
Hi
Perhaps you could create a structure using the form names as keys
Then the structure would only consist of those which have been checked,
you could use functions to check if particular keys exist to determine
if a value is part of the structure and you can save this structure to
session scope quite easily.

RE: Setting a dynamically built list as a session variable.
Also
There is automatically a form field created by cf called form.fieldnames
Which is list of all submmited fields,
You could loop through this list copying all fields which begin with the
Prefix business_types to another list. You could then decide to take
the portion of the name minus the prefix and save it to a list called
selected business types.

Hi
Has anybody on the CF Talk list had much experience with hiermenus?
I have been very grateful if someone on the list could spare a minute , to
help me solve a small problem I am
having with the script.
I am trying to get the hiermenus script working correctly however I am
running into some problems.
There is no javascript error, but the drop down menus are not appearing when
I roll the mouse over the hyperlink ??
Can you see from the script below where the problem may be that stops the
mouseover/drop down from appearing
Any help or leads to a solution would be most helpful.

Re: Setting a dynamically built list as a session variable.
Stephen,
First up. You don't need to name each of your checkboxes seperately, so
change the input tag to this :
input type=checkbox name=business_types value=#bus_type#
and your javascript to this :
script language=JavaScript
!-- Begin
function checkAll() {
for (var j = 1; j = document.BusinessType.business_types.length; j++)
{
box = document.BusinessType.business_types[j]; {
if (box.checked == false) {
box.checked = true;
} else if(box.checked == true){
box.checked = false;
}
}
}
// End --
/script
My question is how can I create this session variable from this dynamic
list
of form variables?
Now what you'll get is one form variable called business_types with all the
checked business types as a comma delimited list.
To make this form variable into a session variable in your action page is as
simple as :
cfset session.business_types = form.business_types
Don't forget get your cflock if your not on CFMX.
Regards
Stephen

RE: Finding a good Session management system.
That was a pretty vague and not very helpful answer John. Stephen, what all are you storing in session variables? Could you describe your application a little more? I've always tried to make sure that I'm using session variables as little as possible anymore. I've moved majority of my session variables into client variables (storage in db). None the less, there's still a variable management issue that you have to get your fingers wrapped around. Perhaps you're storing too much information into the session scope if you're pondering that there has to be a better way. So.. my advice to you is to do a cfdump var=#session# (proper locks around of course) and take a good hard look at what really should / shouldn't be there. ~Todd On Mon, 22 Jul 2002, John McCosker wrote: Don't use session variables, but use cookies which maintain session state when the browser is open and deleted when closed. -Original Message- From: Adams, Stephen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 1:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Finding a good Session management system. ** WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL Please refer to the disclaimer beneath this message ** Hi, I have been building CF sites for a while now and I am always finding myself creating/deleting and checking for session variables or changing them into request variables.

Re: Finding a good Session management system.
Bah Humbug Use Client variables Just don't forget that you must change the default client store from registry to a datasource (whatever the operating system you're running on) otherwise your registry will either fill up quickly or just slow your application down horrendously. Better ways of handling your session variables. Copy your entire session scop to a request variable in Application.cfm and back again in onRequestEnd.cfm. This way during the users request to site whatever session variable you need is in the request scope. No messing with cflocks in the rest of your code Make sure you do a Duplicate() rather than StructCopy or request.session = session Or you could buy CFMX and do away with cflocking (unless there's going to be any kind of race condition) Regards Stephen Don't use session variables, but use cookies which maintain session state when the browser is open and deleted when closed. -Original Message- From: Adams, Stephen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 1:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Finding a good Session management system. ** WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL Please refer to the disclaimer beneath this message ** Hi, I have been building CF sites for a while now and I am always finding myself creating/deleting and checking for session variables or changing them into request variables.

RE: Finding a good Session management system.
Stephen, perhaps shoving everything into the variable scope isn't what you need then. If you're going from form to form, it wouldn't be that hard to loop around the form.fieldnames to set hidden form fields onto the next page to continue to pass on that information. I have a similiar application that does all this with session variables and when the form is -finally- submitted, it dumps everything to a local copy and removes the session variable. There's probably plenty of ways to do this, but ... I think you need to start thinking of better 'transport' mechanisms, even if it is a session variable (and, using session variables is not a bad thing, just means you have to manage what you're doing, but that goes with any variable scope). The one thing I tend to do before populating my forms / session vars is intialize the whole data structure. That way, things are always defined, it's just a matter of doing a len(trim(varName)) on them to see if there's any data in that scope. Plenty of ways to handle this, overall it's just application planning. You need to sit down and decide how complicated / how simple you want to make this and plan for future growth (if the application calls for it). ~Todd p.s.

Re: DWMX - Monitor page design time
I'm independent, so while I know about SourceSafe, I don't have experience with it. TraxTime can indeed run on a network and there is a management version that will compile all employee's times into one report. We use one copy of the regular version on my machine (where I write CF apps) and one copy of the management version on the server so my husband (who manages the server) can clock hours as well on the same account.

Re: Finding a good Session management system.
Better ways of handling your session variables. Copy your entire session scop to a request variable in Application.cfm and back again in onRequestEnd.cfm. This way during the users request to site whatever session variable you need is in the request scope. No messing with cflocks in the rest of your code Make sure you do a Duplicate() rather than StructCopy or request.session = session This isn't a bad method ... The only thing I would add is that you need to remember to consider cfinclude template=onrequestend.cfm before any cfabort tag, such as just after a cflocation tag. Using a cfabort in the middle of the page obviously terminates page processing, but it's sometimes easy to forget that you have important session management going on further down the page in the onrequestend.cfm that won't occur if you don't cfinclude it before you abort the page.

RE: Finding a good Session management system.
Stephen, I am not going to comment on the client vs. session variable issue that everyone else is talking about. I am awfully ignorant about client variables, and I am learning from those other messages as they come. I can, however, offer some advice on the approach to a multi-page form with session variables. I just (last night) released a multi-page registration system for a web site. When I started, I thought, I'll just put the variables from each form submission into a session variable, which I will store until the end of the process, at which point everything will be submitted at once. OK. That made sense, but with locking and keeping track of things and needing to let the user go back and forth and edit data, things got miserable from a variable management standpoint. Halfway through, although I kept the basic concept the same, I made a change which greatly simplified my life. Here's the idea: the biggest heartaches came in testing for a variable's existence, providing for all possible cases of its value, and the locking issues. So, I eliminated all of them. I created a page called registration_init.cfm that set to default values all of the session variables that I would be using throughout the registration process. At the top of each page, I have one CFLOCK block that pulls all of the relevant session variables for the form into local variables. Each page then pre-populates its form fields with those local variables, regardless of their value; if they are blank, fine, and if they have data from the session variables, fine. This allows you to go back and forth between forms very easily. I also set up my pages in a (probably inefficient) funny way. The flow is like this: registration_init.cfm registration1.cfm registration1_action.cfm registration2cfm registration2_action.cfm etc. Each action page validates all of the data and goes to the appropriate page: forward if everything is okay, and back if it's not. If it goes back, it also passes error values which appear on the page to let the user know what they did wrong and how to fix it. I can't remember right now if this flow setup tied into the session variable management issue, but just so you have some more ideas, I thought I'd throw it in. Anyhow, the main thing is that by pre-defining all the variables that I was going to use, I removed the need to check their values on each page. Of course, it's essentially doing the same thing, but by doing it in a centralized way was a lot easier.

Client Variables in database storage holds default 120k but you increase the size of the data fields.. at least this is what the documentation says. WDDX and Client variables would be a good option.

Bah Humbug Use Client variables Just don't forget that you must change the default client store from registry to a datasource (whatever the operating system you're running on) otherwise your registry will either fill up quickly or just slow your application down horrendously. Better ways of handling your session variables. Copy your entire session scop to a request variable in Application.cfm and back again in onRequestEnd.cfm. This way during the users request to site whatever session variable you need is in the request scope. No messing with cflocks in the rest of your code Make sure you do a Duplicate() rather than StructCopy or request.session = session Or you could buy CFMX and do away with cflocking (unless there's going to be any kind of race condition) Regards Stephen Don't use session variables, but use cookies which maintain session state when the browser is open and deleted when closed. -Original Message- From: Adams, Stephen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 1:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Finding a good Session management system. ** WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL Please refer to the disclaimer beneath this message ** Hi, I have been building CF sites for a while now and I am always finding myself creating/deleting and checking for session variables or changing them into request variables.

RE: Elaborate plan...
You're going to hear references to Metatag refresh, and HTTP Header refresh options. Judging from your statements, I think these would not be the best solution. If you are dealing with IE only, you can use IFRAMES (in Netscape, I think the equivalent is a Layer). In Javascript on the main form, you can set a timer that calls a function (setTimeout()) - if your function sets the location of the IFRAME, the page loaded there can do whatever processing you need, then update the parent page through javascript - including changing the page itself. I've found this to be a much cleaner solution than refreshing whole pages - the user doesn't see the page getting reloaded, but DOES see the results of the reload, which would be the data being updated.

With a query of a query I think you would have to manually add an index
column, i.e.
cfscript
myarray = arraynew(1);
for (x = 1; x lte myquery.recordcount; x++) { myarray[x] = x; }
QueryAddColumn(myquery,index,myarray);
/cfscript
( not sure off-hand about the quotes around myarray -- the cf studio help
says arrayname rather than array for the third argument )
but at this point you would be able to use
WHERE index = #startrow#
in your query of query once you knew what row to start on

RE: Elaborate plan...
This is off the top of my head (so keep in mind that I could be guessing on
some items)
Main Page:
script language=javascript
setInterval(GetProgress, 1000) //run the GetProgress
function every second
function GetProgres() {
document.all.MyIFrameName.src = myactionpage.cfm;
}
/script
iframe id=MyIFrameName name=MyIFrameName height=0 width=0/iframe
img src=1x1pixel.gif width=1 height=10 id=MyProgressBar
ACTION PAGE:
..
Server side processing
..
script language=javascript
var MyBar = parent.document.all.MyProgressBar;
MyBar.width = MyBar.width + 1;
/script
Now, that said, you should check out Raymond Camden's article on using
CFFLUSH to create a progress bar. You can find it on the Macromedia site
somewhere (I know, not particularly helpful, but the best I can do right
this moment).
I've used the above routines for some VERY complex processing, and updated
the parent page, without ever having to do a page refresh. It's a fair bit
more work, but the end results are very slick. And don't forget that you can
use server side processing (a'la Cold Fusion) to build the necessary
javascript, or parts of the javascript - i.e.
cfoutputalert(#MyMessage#);/cfoutput.

You're going to hear references to Metatag refresh, and HTTP Header
refresh
options.
Judging from your statements, I think these would not be the best
solution.
If you are dealing with IE only, you can use IFRAMES (in Netscape, I think
the equivalent is a Layer). In Javascript on the main form, you can set a
timer that calls a function (setTimeout()) - if your function sets the
location of the IFRAME, the page loaded there can do whatever processing
you
need, then update the parent page through javascript - including changing
the page itself.
I've found this to be a much cleaner solution than refreshing whole
pages -
the user doesn't see the page getting reloaded, but DOES see the results
of
the reload, which would be the data being updated.
My thoughts Not yours...

Re: SMTP Authentication w/CFMAIL tag?
I'm not sure about CFMX but CF5.0 and earlier do not support SMTP auth. If you can, try to get your postmaster to assign the IP address of your CF server to an allowed list of IPs so that you don't have to authenticate. If that doesn't work, and you are running Windows, then you may want to look at iMS-SE which allows you to send mail without an external email server and, if you still want to use the other mail server, it supports SMTP auth as well.

RE: Finding a good Session management system.
Talking about mulit-page forms... I don't use session or client variables at all when doing multi-page forms. I simply pass the form structure on to the next page in hidden form fields. That way, if somebody chooses to go -Back, then the variables are there in the preceding page code, not the memory. The problems with going through any particular page more than once in a session does not apply to this situatioun either. I don't have to worry about session or client persistance or wacky form paths. The form variables just get passed on page to page until the end of the form is reached, then the are committed to the database (or whatever) all at once. - Matt Small -Original Message- From: Cornillon, Matthieu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 10:36 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Finding a good Session management system. Stephen, I am not going to comment on the client vs. session variable issue that everyone else is talking about. I am awfully ignorant about client variables, and I am learning from those other messages as they come. I can, however, offer some advice on the approach to a multi-page form with session variables. I just (last night) released a multi-page registration system for a web site. When I started, I thought, I'll just put the variables from each form submission into a session variable, which I will store until the end of the process, at which point everything will be submitted at once. OK. That made sense, but with locking and keeping track of things and needing to let the user go back and forth and edit data, things got miserable from a variable management standpoint. Halfway through, although I kept the basic concept the same, I made a change which greatly simplified my life. Here's the idea: the biggest heartaches came in testing for a variable's existence, providing for all possible cases of its value, and the locking issues. So, I eliminated all of them. I created a page called registration_init.cfm that set to default values all of the session variables that I would be using throughout the registration process. At the top of each page, I have one CFLOCK block that pulls all of the relevant session variables for the form into local variables. Each page then pre-populates its form fields with those local variables, regardless of their value; if they are blank, fine, and if they have data from the session variables, fine. This allows you to go back and forth between forms very easily. I also set up my pages in a (probably inefficient) funny way. The flow is like this: registration_init.cfm registration1.cfm registration1_action.cfm registration2cfm registration2_action.cfm etc. Each action page validates all of the data and goes to the appropriate page: forward if everything is okay, and back if it's not. If it goes back, it also passes error values which appear on the page to let the user know what they did wrong and how to fix it. I can't remember right now if this flow setup tied into the session variable management issue, but just so you have some more ideas, I thought I'd throw it in. Anyhow, the main thing is that by pre-defining all the variables that I was going to use, I removed the need to check their values on each page. Of course, it's essentially doing the same thing, but by doing it in a centralized way was a lot easier.

RE: Finding a good Session management system.
I took the same approach before CFMX. I've now moved back to session variables with CFMX's ability to replicate session data across a cluster...less headache in dealing with stored complex structures. (not like it was a HUGE deal using WDDX but is still extra processing) Let's hope I don't live to regret it and have some session issues emerge! -Original Message- From: Matt Robertson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 12:45 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Finding a good Session management system. I'd like to chime into this thread on the side of client variables. I've pretty much abandoned session vars in favor of client vars and - where needed - using wddx to fake a structure if I need it. It works marvelously. The kicker was when I found Hal Helms' tutorial on this. Using in part a tag that's been sitting in the devex for quite some time, it shows a way to build an inactivity-based expiration setup.

Yes, the source of the image tag is correct. Everything works fine on our development enviroment for referencing from the root (ie /images/something.gif), however on their staging server it does not. It only works if it is referenced either ../images/something.gif or images/something.gif. It's not a matter of the code, it's a matter of the server settings to get it to accept the / reference for root. - Paul -Original Message- From: Christopher Olive [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 12:31 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: IIS Problem - HELP! take a look at the page. do a view source. look at the SRC of the IMG tag. is it actually correct? __ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
tracking payments
Hi all, It's Monday, caffeine intake is low and I am having a brainfreeze. I need to keep track of payments made by the client (amount and date), as well as the commissions paid to the sales reps. The reps get paid each time a client makes a payment; ie if the client pays 1000 of his 2000 balance the rep gets a percent of the 1000 not the 2000. That being said, I am on a SQL 2K DB. I thought about having a couple of columns like: Total Cost Invoice Date Invoice Amount Balance Commissions However, I don't want to overwrite the existing data (as this is going to be available for tracking and allowing the reps to print out an intemized view). I am having trouble of thinking about the best way to do this. I don't want to put in a ton of colums (in case they are not used but likewist don't want to put too few). Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!

RE: SoEditor Pro
I use the lite version for my cfug site and another intranet ap. Works great - no complaints. It is IE specific though - so it's not so hot for a general public site. -mk -Original Message- From: Brook Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 1:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: SoEditor Pro Hello, We are just about to purchase the SoEditor pro wysiwyg editor form www.siteobjects.com.
