Re: Upgrading CF9 Hotfixes
Hi Richard, Are you renaming any existing jar files or removing them completely? I have run into issues when the old hotfix files are just renamed, you should remove them from the folder completely (i.e. the ones in the UPDATES folder). Ensure that you have them backed up in another location though incase you need to restore them.

Re: generating and merging pdfs
Hi Tim, I tend not to use CF for anything like this. I've used ghostscript and pdftk to perform pdf merging with great success. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8158584/ghostscript-to-merge-pdfs-compresses-the-result for an example of usage commands for both ghostscript and pdftk ( http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/).

Re: AW: Severe memory issue
Hi Till, What version of CF are you on? I had some issues with memory in CF8 and outlined a few tips http://thinkinglemur.com/index.php/2010/02/memory-leaks-with-coldfusion-8/. If you are doing heap dumps, look for objects that hold huge amounts of memory, the blog posts has links to a couple of sites that talk about how to make sense of the heap dumps. If there are objects that make reference to session/application scoped variables/objects this can also be a cause of memory leaks and server crashes.

Re: Source control in CF
I agree with Cameron on this one. We recently moved from SVN to Git because we found that within our team it facilitated our workflow. We started implementing the practices outlined by Git Flow and that's been working really well. That doesn't mean that Git is better than SVN, it's just better in our case. One thing I do like is the fact that I can work on my local machine and then sync with the server when I'm connected at the office again.

To the OP - read up on Git and SVN and pick whichever you like, but don't feel bad in the least about choosing either one as a solution. They are both perfectly fine choices. In fact, if you are struggling to understand getting SVN setup, I think that Git may be an even more painful option for you (but give it a whirl and form your own opinion). -Cameron -- Cameron Childress -- p: 678.637.5072 im: cameroncf facebook http://www.facebook.com/cameroncf | twitterhttp://twitter.com/cameronc | ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:354132 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Anybody seen this hack/exploit?
I've seen something like this on a shared server that was running osCommerce. The uploads directory had the wrong permissions set, the attacker uploaded a server admin script that could set permissions on other directories. They were then able to inject code into every index.php, index.html, index.cfm files it found. If you are on a shared environment I would look for this type of attack on the server.

Invoking Java component that sends SSL Client Key in CF9 Ent
Hi All, I've run into an issue on CF9 Enterprise 64 bit on Windows (7/2003/2008) with using client authentication when invoking a java component. Background: We are attempting to implement 3D Secure (Verified By Visa) on the Barclay's EPDQ system using the Arcot SDK. We have this working using the COM api on windows 32 bit but our shiny new servers running Windows 2008 doesn't support COM. I've attempted to use .NET thinking that it should be a fairly straight swap between the COM and .NET systems but was I wrong. The Java SDK requires you to pass in 3 SSL files. A CA certificate, a client certificate and a client key file. The following code illustrates the call from ColdFusion to the SDK: var serverInfo = createObject(java, com.arcot.xfms.XFMS_Java_API$ServerInfo).init( VARIABLES.clientOptions.host, VARIABLES.clientOptions.port, VARIABLES.clientOptions.transport, 30, 5, 8, 4, VARIABLES.clientOptions.TrustedCACertFile, VARIABLES.clientOptions.ClientCertFile, VARIABLES.clientOptions.ClientKeyFile); This returns an error: Cannot get key bytes, not PKCS#8 encoded. If, however, I wrap this in a java class and execute from command line it works just fine. It just refuses to work when called from ColdFusion. Attempted Fixes: 1. I've imported the certificates into every keystore on the server! 2. Created a jks keystore that includes the CA, Client Certificate and Client Key file and passed that in 3. Created a wrapper class in java that then instantiates and calls the SDK - this again works from command line but not from CF 4. Updated the JRE to Java6 R35 and tested both the command line and CF versions, pure java works, CF doesn't 5. Enabled SSL between JRUN and Apache (in dev environment) and still nothing 6. Contacted Barclays and Arcot and the official position is they neither officially support 64 bit Windows (which is INSANE!) or ColdFusion and can't really offer much advice. They suggested that it could be a problem with access the SDK from Coldfusion but I've moved the SDK to the same directory as the web root and still nothing. Has anyone had any experience with this? Any thoughts, suggestions, criticisms? I can provide more code if necessary. Thanks very much.

Re: Invoking Java component that sends SSL Client Key in CF9 Ent
Thanks Dave, You just pass the location of the key file as a string so I'm just passing in C:\wamp\.\ClientKey.pem both in CF and Java class. I've tried using Wireshark as well to look at the packets being sent. From Java the request is fine, from CF the remote URL never gets called at all so it's not even getting to the bit where it makes the request. What I don't understand is why it's throwing the same error when I use a wrapper java class that then invokes the SDK. Even if I hard code the paths to the files in the java wrapper class and all CF does is call the wrapper class I get the same error. I'm thinking it may be some sort of permission issue why it can't read the key file but I can't figure out what to change. CF and Java and Apache all have full permissions on the directories. Donnie Bachan This returns an error: Cannot get key bytes, not PKCS#8 encoded. If, however, I wrap this in a java class and execute from command line it works just fine. It just refuses to work when called from ColdFusion. How are you providing the key file to the Java class from within CF? Are you just reading it via CFFILE?

Re: Invoking Java component that sends SSL Client Key in CF9 Ent
Pete and Dave, I owe both of you a beverage (or ten!) next time I'm in the US or you are in the UK! It was the BSafe library. I used the code from the forum post to disable the library and my requests worked. I will have to look into the compliance issue with disabling the library when making the calls but at least I know where the problem lies! Thanks again! Donnie On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 11:48 PM, Dave Watts dwa...@figleaf.com wrote: My Guess is that this has something to do with the RSA BSafe crypto-j security provider that CF Enterprise ships with. This API was upgraded in CF10, so you could try that as an option. When you run Java from the command line, you are not using Crypto-J, when you run java within CF you are. Another thing to try would be CF Standard since CF standard uses the default Java security provider. You might also be able to have CF9 Ent run with the default security provider via some JVM options. Also, you can temporarily disable BSafe, I think, as described by Jason Dean here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3895416 ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:352830 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CF8 Instance hogs cpu
Hi Richard, I wrote a post a while back about memory leaks in CF8 Ent., although it is not specifically related to high CPU usage, some of the settings here may be of help. http://thinkinglemur.com/index.php/2010/02/memory-leaks-with-coldfusion-8/ The two things that helped the most (aside from refactoring code) was updating the JVM and using -XX:+AgressiveHeap. Is this only happening on 1 specific instance? What about the other instances on the server, are they fine? Do they interact with the instance that is having issues? HTH.

Re: credit card fraud
We handle credit card (and UK direct debit) fraud by assigning a fraud score to every single credit card submission. We generate the score at the time of purchase but using MaxMind and checking if the billing address of the credit cad matches the IP country, checking if the billing is one of the high fraud countries and a few other historical items (delivery addresses etc). If the total fraud score crosses a threshold the orders are put into a holding table and are reviewed by someone to determine if the orders do look dodgy. If they are false positives then we allow them to be processed, if not we reject the order. We do pre-authorisations on the card so we never store the CC information during the review process. Someone mentioned using 3D Secure and that has help us out a lot in reducing spam. We've seen it all from Vietnam to Ghana and even a few originating in the US with US credit cards but with shipping addresses in the far east or africa. We also block certain known IPs/cards/countries and display a message that there was a problem with the order, please call us to complete the purchase. Legit customers call, fraudsters don't! Our system works pretty well and doesn't rely on systems that may prevent legit people from submitting forms, which to be honest prevents bot spamming but doesn't help much with credit card/payment fraud.

Justin, I don't think that would work though, depending on the level of compliance and the SAQ being completed I don't think any vendor will allow that exemption regardless of if credit card information is visible or not. If an attacker is allowed any access to a user session and can harvest any personally identifiable information it could affect security of any credit card entered into the site.

If you can demonstrate to them that no credit card information is accessible through the user's account (e.g. the card number isn't visible anywhere, etc., and it really doesn't matter if the session is hijacked from the standpoint of credit card security) and explain the situation, they are generally willing to work with you on this kind of thing. Remember, their scanning rules are designed to cover the widest possible threat model. If you have specific needs that don't fit into that model but have compensating controls in place, it shouldn't be a problem (e.g. this used to be an issue with the incremental session IDs which the scanners check for, but paired with the random session token as a compensating control they would always make an exception for this rule when asked). -Justin Sco ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:350260 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Question about hack
Hi Nick, I know this post is a bit late but to your original question, that attack is as a result of incorrect file/iis permissions and is not an XSS attack. I would even bet that you are on a shared server (at HMS) since one of my client sites had this exact same problem. The attacker would have gained access to the file system (possibly via FTP) and executed code that injected the code into all index.* files on the server (not just your hosting account). We have had a lot of problems trying to get this sorted out. It appears that the issue was with security related to the windows script host and/or CFEXECUTE. The only thing you can do to prevent this is work with your hosting provider to secure the system or move to a VPS or dedicated account and make sure your FTP accounts are secure.

Re: CFEclipse with Aptana
Pete, I think for it to work correctly you need to enable line numbers in both places (General Editors Text Editors and within the CFEclipse Editor panels). I am using Eclipse with both Aptana and CFEclipse installed and was having a similar problem when one or the other was checked. I know that you are using the Aptana install with CFEclipse as a plugin but I don't think there is really a difference because the Aptana docs say that you have to enable line numbers by General Editors Text Editors (see http://www.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Displaying_or_hiding_line_numbers). If all else fails, you could always try it on a clean install with the latest updates. BTW, are you on Windows or Mac? HTH.

George, I agree with the idea of just displaying some sort of animation, if something is taking too long you can always say still working...hang on! but the entire idea is to give the user an indicator letting them know that something is happening and the upload hasn't died. You will need to include proper error handling and timeouts. It really isn't something you want to spend hours on because in the end it really isn't that important to show that 10 MBs out of 100MBs have been uploaded (and if you are uploading something that big via the browser I would discourage that!

I am pretty old fashioned, I don't use many visual tools unless I have to, so I still develop in Homesite and Eclipse but after seeing Flex Builder 2 I am now a big fan and starting to put aside cash for this. You will have to code the actions for the interface but things that would take a flash developer hours or days to do you can now do in minutes.

Re: Flex 2 and Ben Forta
I think we need to remember that there has been no set pricing on the tool yet. Ben noted that it could be under $1000 and that could mean anything from $1 - $999 even though I think it will be on the higher end. The fact of the matter is that if you decide that you like what the tool does and how it works you will fork over the money. I personally think it is worth the investment. Adobe will, I assume, allow you to download a trial when the final version is shipped so you can test it out. From Ben's presentation in NYC, Adobe was working on some RDS functionality as well that may be contributed to Eclipse or just be part of the Flex Builder tool, that alone in my opinion is worth it's weight in gold. Not everyone is going to like the product, some people hate Dreamweaver while other swear by it, you can't please everyone but there is nothing else at present that can accomplish what this tool will deliver when released. That is the bottom line and Adobe will price it accordingly for their target audience. If you don't like the product and want to either build one or hand code everything you can do so also since the XML style markup is quite easy to use but again, it's up to you if you prefer to spend 100 hrs hand coding it versus using the visual tool. I really think that all the AJAX talk is going to quiet down a bit when Flex is released. Just my 2 cents.

As to whether it would save me time/money thats a moot point. Flex 2 is not the only option out there, and wearing either of my hats (as an independent developer or as a member of a large dev team working for a not for profit) $1000 is a lot to spend per seat - especially as we would probably need the server as well. I don't really understand why it matters whether it's a plugin or a full app suite. What matters to me is what it allows you to do. I'd much rather pay $1000 for FlexBuilder as a plugin to Eclipse, which is somewhat of a known quantity, than have Adobe spend time and developer resources to build an entire IDE from scratch. They'd have to charge more for it just to cover their costs, and it probably wouldn't be nearly as good. And again, the only thing that should matter is whether it helps you deliver better applications faster, at least enough to offset the per-seat cost! And yes, Flex 2 is not the only option out there. But it's fundamentally different from the other options that are available. Based on what I've seen so far, I think it's quite a bit better than the other options. In my opinion, AJAX is hardly comparable to Flex 2 - and I've been working with AJAX (and AJAXish predecessor) applications for a long, long time. You don't need to listen to me, though. Download the open beta and see for yourself! I am interested in Flex2, I am also interested in Ajax and several other options - money will be a big part of any decisions made. To set up 2 servers and 12 developers to use Flex might be a very significant outlay. According to my understanding, you don't necessarily have to purchase any server component at all. You can use Flex to talk to CF applications, web services, etc. without any server component. The optional server component is very impressive, though - it provides some very useful pieces of functionality, like the ability to tie into JMS very easily.

Re: Flex 2 and Ben Forta
I wonder, however, since many cutting edge developers tend to be college students who have no money and are out to see what they can do, how CF would compete if it were free or at least less expensive... Maybe Adobe can release a tool for creating a portable archive file (war/ear/jar) that you can just dump into a free J2EE server.similar to what they are doing with Flex. It is already possible with the enterprise version of CF. A free version of this tool may give some of those new developers incentive to develop in it since they will not need to pay for the server . -- Donnie Bachan Website: http://www.islandwizards.com Blog: http://angrytrini.blogspot.com Nitendo Vinces - By Striving You Shall Conquer == The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Google Analytics is basically Urchin 5 that has been amped up a bit. Google bought Urchin last year. I have used their early release of it because a client of mine is an AdWords customer.

Re: Query to XML
Returning the XML directly via SQL Server is much, MUCH more efficient than processing the file in ColdFusion. SQL Server has a few functions that allows you to customize the XML output. I use the FOR XML EXPLICIT command which allows you to specify the tag names for example: SELECT DISTINCT 1 AS TAG, NULL AS PARENT, A.vendorid AS [vendorrecord!1!vendorid!element], A.datecreated AS [vendorrecord!1!created!element], Str(Month(A.datecreated)) + '/' + Str(Day(A.datecreated)) + '/' + Str(Year(A.datecreated)) AS [vendorrecord!1!datecreated!element] FROM Vendors A FOR XML EXPLICIT This will create the file with each column as an element. A great reference for this can be found in The Gurus Guide to SQL Server Stored Procedures, XML and HTML by Ken Henderson.

As Sean noted in his post, the return value is encoded as a WDDX
packet. You will need to use the WDDX deserializer object to unencode
the string. In your js function that handles the data once the XMLHTTP
request has returned you can use an alert to see the raw packet, this
way you will know if your CFC is indeed returning the valid
information.
Here is some code that may be helpful:
cfcomponent name=XMLconduit author=Pete Ruckelshaus
displayname=XMLconduit hint=This .cfc is used for all XML-returned
data for the application.
cffunction name=getContactsByOrganization access=public
output=Yes returntype=XML
cfargument name=param default=0 required=Yes type=numeric
cfquery name=getContacts datasource=#request.app.dsname#
SELECT C.ID, C.fname, C.lname
FROMtblContacts C
WHERE C.contactTypeID = (SELECT id FROM
tblContactTypes WHERE
typename = 'individual') AND
C.organizationid =
cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer value=#arguments.param# /
ORDER BYC.fname, C.lname
/cfquery
cfxml variable=xml
contactdata
cfloop query=getContacts
id#getContacts.id#/id
firstname#getContacts.fname#/firstname
lastname#getContacts.lname#/lastname
/cfloop
/contactdata
/cfxml
cfreturn xml /
/cffunction
/cfcomponent
Javascript Code:
var isMozilla = ((document.all) ? false : true);
function getXmlHttpConn()
{
var xhttp = null;
try
{
if (! isMozilla)
{
xhttp = new ActiveXObject(Microsoft.XMLHTTP);
}
else
{
xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}
}
catch (e)
{
alert(An error has occurred while attempting to get a
connection
to the server!);
}
return xhttp;
}
function getRequest(method, url, async, func)
{
var xmlHttpConn = getXmlHttpConn();
if (xmlHttpConn != null)
{
try
{
xmlHttpConn.open(method, url, async);
xmlHttpConn.onreadystatechange =
function() { if
(xmlHttpConn.readyState == 4) {
processRequest(xmlHttpConn.responseText, func); } }
xmlHttpConn.send(null);
}
catch (e)
{
alert(e.description);
}
}
}
function processRequest(rs, func)
{
alert(rs);
if (isMozilla)
{
des = new WddxDeserializer;
}
else
{
des = new WddxDeserializerForIE;
}
var xmlTextStr = des.deserialize(rs);
if (func)
{
func(xmlTextStr);
}
}
Please let me know if you need some more help with this.

RE: Print to Index Cards
I think that many of us have run into a similar problem at some point. We came up with a solution, not a pretty solution but a solution nevertheless, by using iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/). We were required to print out event invitations to pre-formatted cards from the browser. It was a very difficult task trying to use CSS to do what we wanted since different printers were calibrated differently data on the sheets were always skewed. What we came up with was this: 1. We created a PDF form as described in the first part of the following article (http://www.worlddesign.com/index.cfm/rd/cf/PDFForms.htm). The fields were named the same as the columns of the query concatenated with a row number, so if your query returned columns emp_id, emp_fname, emp_lname the form fields would be named emp_id1, emp_fname1, emp_lname1 etc.. We were printing 8 cards per page (2 columns x 4 rows) 2. The query to populate the cards was retrieved. 3. We calculated the number of pages, then looped over the query and created the pages 'stamped' with the data using a custom implementation of iText. 4. We returned the generated PDF to the browser for printing. We couldn't use auto generated PDF's since the positioning was crucial to us. I would suggest looking at http://cfregex.com/cfcomet/pdf/.

RE: Macromedia gives up on the server market in Australia and wal ks away.
I agree with Dave here. As far as I am concerned there is nothing like CF for rapid deployment but CF is not the be all and end all in my development. I like the ability to intermix custom server side Java stuff depending on the situation and that to me is a big plus. However, ASP.NET is chock full of features and one thing that Microsoft does REALLY well is make it easy for their products to communicate and well .NET works REALLY well with SQL Server features. CFC's are great, it gives us the feeling that we are really OO programmers for an instant but a CFC is simply a Java or C++ or C# class if you think about it. Every single Java object you create is a CFC and you can't get much more native than that. I was very upset with Macromedia for releasing CF MX when they did, it was a substandard product! 6.1 has been much better to us on Windows 2003 systems and I suspect that Blackstone will be even better but I can't honestly say that I will turn a blind eye to everything else because CF is easy. I believe in using the best technology for the particular implementation. Someone mentioned that Flash forms will probably not be used much, I disagree with this statement. If Macromedia takes CF in the direction I think they are moving with their big push towards converting the web to RIAs there will be nothing easier than Flash Form stuff in the near future.

Re: Strange CFMX hang
I have seen something like what you described before but found no solution to the problem. We found that this happened after applying hot fixes, namely the Sequelink 3.3 drivers and it occurred on the server running alot of MS Access databases. We tried rolling back the drivers but that did not seem to correct the problem. We eventually upgraded servers and databases, we migrated the databases to MySQL and use the JDBC drivers to access them and installed Windows 2003 with IIS 6. The sites have been running for about two months now crash free (knock on wood). I know this is not a practical solution for everyone but I believe that the ODBC drivers (in our case) was the root of the problem. HTH.

RE: Printable forms in HTML
iText does not allow for creation of PostScript files. ActivePDF is probably the best way to go since it has all the functionality you require. If you wanted PS functionality with iText you would have to create your own PSWriter class in Java.

RE: Printable forms in HTML
Will the user be required to print the form after completing the form or will the form be popluated with information from the database? For printing solutions I would go the PDF route. You can use either FDF (http://partners.adobe.com/asn/acrobat/forms.jsp) some useful tutorials on this can be found at http://www.cfcomet.com or you can use iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/), a free Java based API for creating and manipulating PDF documents. You can create your form in PDF not HTML and force it to load in the browser and use either FDF or iText (of the FDF options in iText!) to populate the information from the DB. If the user has to enter additional information on the form then they can do so and then print it straight from the browser with no loss in formatting. Printing HTML forms especially in IE can be a pain. The only caveat is that the client must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed. If you need to use HTML and know that your clients will be using IE (windows) only you can try ScriptX (http://www.meadroid.com/scriptx/index.asp) which allows you to specify certain printing options. There is a free and commercial license, you can obviously do much more using the commercial version but the free option gives you quite a rich set of options. HTH.

Re: Access Coldfusion MX6.1 problems...sites keep dying
We are experiencing this problem also. I have tried the hotfixes on Macromedia's site, which do not really apply to MS Access but it couldn't hurt. We have an application that requires a large recordset to be returned (~1 records), CFQUERY caching helps somewhat but the problem exists whenever the cache is cleared. I think that Access just cannot handle the load, the ODBC Server hangs first, then CFMX Server. When I notice the spiking, I restart CFMX Server first, then the ODBC Server and finally the ODBC Client in that order, that prevents me from rebooting the entire server. Nothing I have tried has really helped other than employing my own caching strategy using Application variables, but the dataset is so large that Access chokes. I will be moving the app over to MySQL pretty soon but I was holding out for MySQL 4.1 to be released in full before I do so because we have some queries with subqueries that cannot be rewritten.

I ran across this problem using MySQL and CFMX 6.1 and dates, I have been too lazy to figure out the root of the problem but I used the MySQL date format functions to format the date before returning it to ColdFusion and that solved the problem.

RE: simple join not working
Remember that the type of join used depends on how your data is organized. If you have values in one table that do not have corresponding data in the second table you will probably have to use a LEFT JOIN with Classes being the table on the left of the join operation, this will return all classes irrespective of whether there are null values in the table on the right of the join operation.

Since this will most likely end up using SQL Server that article may be very pertinent. The DB giants (Oracle,MS) obviously offer BLOBs as a datatype for a reason. It has always been my personal practice to store the links to the file in the DB and the actual files in the file system. After reading the comments on both sides here I am beginning to think differently. I am still concerned with the eventual size of the db if I store everything in there. On the other hand using the system in a clustered may pose a problem although I haven't fully investigated how one of the large DB vendors handle replication etc. across the cluster. I agree that storing the files in the DB offers higher level of protection of the files and that is a key point as far as I see. Thanks again for all those who have contributed to this discussion so far. It is much appreciated.

OT: BLOBs and CF
This is a slightly OT question and I know it has been debated before but we have a client that is intent on having us store all their files in a DB and I can not for the life of me come up with any good reason to do that. So I would like to ask the community to help me out here: What are the Pros and Cons of storing files as BLOBs? And What are the Pros and Cons of storing files in the file system with the names stored in the DB? Files can be of any MIME type and of various sizes. Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated.

RE: JS question / DOM hiding all elements in square area
Okayeverytime I say something like this I can feel the cringe running through the community! *L* But here goes, this has been a very helpful guide for me in developing code to solve this problem. This is an IE specific solution but you will get the idea of what is being done to implement it on your own for whatever browser (NN6+ etc) On Microsoft.com, check out the toolbar.js script, there are two function hideElement(elmid) and showElement(elmID) these do what you want. You have to view the source of the page and grab the toolbar.js file.

Re: RE: Making the MX Popup Menu Javascript Dynamic
Another fairly striaghtforward way is (at least in IE, I have not tested it on Netscape or Opera) is to hide the form element (SELECT or OBJECT) that is below the menu. I know this may not be a popular solution but go to microsoft.com and do a full save of the page, you will see toolbar.js, there are functions called hideElement and showElement which shows how they accomplish this. I do not see why this same method should not work using NS6+ or Opera 6+ as well. As I said before, it may not be a popular solution but it is one work around.

Re: quick java open window ?
With the code given you can not (or as far as I know you can't) open the
location in a new window. You will need to write your own function:
function fnOpenWin(url)
{
var win =
open(url,'myWin','toolbar=1,menubar=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,top=0,left=0,width=800,height=600');
}
This will pop up a new window with the location. You can change how the
window looks by changing the values for toolbar etc. You can make the
function more customizable by passing the width,height,top and left values
to the function.
To call the function:: onClick=fnOpenWin('somepage.cfm');

Re: Populating Related Tables in Coldfusion
How about having a separate interface for assigning permissions to groups. Since, I assume, that a group will only have one permission level. When you create a group, assign it a permission. When you create the user you only need to assign that user to groups and the user will inherit the permission set for the groups assigned.

I see what you want now. How about having a list of the groups as checkboxes, next to each group you have a single select box with permissions. When you select a group you select the permission next to the group: Username: formelement blah blah Groups: checkbox Group1 selectbox with all permissions User Permission For Group 1 checkbox Group2 selectbox with all permissions User Permission For Group 2 checkbox Group3 selectbox with all permissions User Permission For Group 3 Name the checkboxes and permission selects something like Group#GroupID# Persmission#GroupID# So when you are processing the page you can assign the correct permission to the correct group for the user.

RE: New Mail Notification in Outlook
How about using a Hotmail (webmail) account for your mailing lists. For business and other mail that may require immediate attention I use Outlook, for everything else I use webmail. I know this is not the answer you are looking for but it is how I get around the problem.

Re: CFMX Idea incubator
This library does indeed have some very powerful features and I am sure that there is a JSP lib out there that already makes use of the methods that you are looking for, but there is one small problem, at least I think it may be a problem, this library appears in Java 2 Standard Edition 1.4 but I do not think that MX support only goes up to 1.3.x. Now I don't see this as a real problem because you can tell MX which compiler you want to use even if you are using the 1.4 version but it is something that should be noted nevertheless. It is a good idea though and worth investigation.

Re: Getting datatype before SELECT
If you use Sybase you can query SYSColumns (SQL Server would be the same I guess since they were spawned from the same engine initially). SYSColumns contains a row for every column of every table and view.

Re: OT: Java for beginners?
I haven't looked at this specific edition but I saw this book back when it was in its first edition and it really helped me with learning Java, Just Java by Peter Van de Linden (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0130320722/reader/1/ref=lib_dp_TFCV/102-6716556-3764904#reader-link) also you can check out Java Unleashed, there are alot of practical real world examples there that allow you to see how Java is applied. There are also numerous resources on the net, some of my favorite ones are www.jguru.com, www.gamelan.com, developer.java.sun.com.
