Re: Can you use a CFTHREAD inside an Ajax routine?

Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
For what it's worth, the approach of storing a global data item in the application scope seems to be legit according to the documentation. Here's what it said in the CF10 doc: Application variables are a convenient place to store information that all pages of your application might need, no matter which client is running that application. Using application variables, an application could, for example, initialize itself when the first user accesses any page of that application. This information can then remain available indefinitely, thereby avoiding the overhead of repeated initialization. Because the data stored in application variables is available to all pages of an application, and remains available until a specific period of inactivity passes or the ColdFusion server shuts down, application variables are convenient for application-global, persistent data. However, because all clients running an application see the same set of application variables, these variables are not appropriate for client-specific or session-specific information. To target variables for specific clients, use client or session variables. ~| 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:360041 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
You will need to pass your session variables as a parameter in order to use them in the CFC, this is best practices anyways. The difficulty is that there a lot of cfc calls and some of them are in bind expressions so the chance of making errors is high. That's why I am so anxious to find one that doesn't make me change a lot of programming. Long term I will opt for a better solution. ~| 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:360025 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Cannot access session variables in a cfc
My app is running in a CF10 system and since I moved my cfc's out of the document root, they are losing access to the session variables. It seems that they work for around a day and then can no longer be found. I initialize them in my application.cfm to a value and I can still cfdump them in a regular web page, but the cfc fails with the error Element XXX is undefined in SESSION. Is this normal behaviour? If it is, then what is the alternative method of passing a variable into the cfc (other than making it a parameter when calling)? ~| 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:360014 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
If you moved your cfc's above the application.cfc (or application.cfm) file, the session variables will not be accessible. Session and application vars are accessible from the application file down. That's what we did.

Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
Thanx. That's what I think I will do for the time being. It is hard for me to come up with all the symptoms that we started seeing on the cfc's now and I don't think I could do justice to any explanation of those issues. It seemed to me that it was all quite normal stuff. All pages and cfc's were in the same doc root. And I have had issues with cfc locations on my test system because it gets confused with localhost and virtual directories, so getting the cfc's into a separate folder had a certain appeal. I'm planning to do a big refresh on the app over the summer and this is going to be addressed then. In the meantime, I have my fingers crossed than an application scoped variable will get us through.

Re: Cannot access session variables in a cfc
I know this isn't ideal, but it is a live application and the decision to move the cfc's outside of the doc root was taken because CF was having trouble finding them (for no obvious reason). Code that has worked since CF7 started breaking. So we moved them and this problem began. I am looking for a quick solution for now, knowing that I need to develop a better one. I'm wondering about putting the variable in the Application scope?

Re: CF10 creating extra CFID/CFTOKEN cookies at the domain level
For anyone who stumbles across this post, I thought I should add the closure as I now understand it. First of all, the duplicate CFID and CFTOKEN was not the problem I thought it was. It confused matters, but it seems that most browsers can tolerate it, even though it makes no sense to me. I eventually found that browsers were losing the CFID/CFTOKEN values and as a result could not locate the session variables and that is what caused the problem. And for the most part it happened in IE, but was not consistent. Some IE11 systems failed all the time while others were sporadic and some ran fine. I found a couple of postings that said for security reasons you should now use J2EE Session Variables on the ColdFusion Administrator Memory Variables page and that would improve security and mean that CFID/CFTOKEN were no longer used so I tried it. And it worked. My ISP had not set that value but as soon as they did, everything worked perfectly again. ~| 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:359497 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CF10 creating extra CFID/CFTOKEN cookies at the domain level
Some more info:
- I have not issued a setclientcookies=yes so assuming that is the default it
should be there.
- the redirect is via an htaccess file which says
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
- I think the redirect is not relevant because I am doing the testing and I am
only using www.
- Multiple browsers have shown up with the duplicate cookies and the
duplication seems to occur after a logon (using my own app code). I don't use
any specific URLs ... all are relative based on the domain.
Any other thoughts on what is causing it?

Re: Unable to add text to HTML HEAD tag
I appreciate the feedback received on this and some of the ensuing discussion. On the technical side, it was a cfajaximport tag on which it failed. But as I mentioned earlier, it still failed when that tag was removed. Thanx to one suggestion I got it to work by moving the entire cfwindow up (but still inside the body tag). I had already looked at all those articles that have been mentioned and none of them did a thing or applied to my case. But I appreciate the suggestions because if I hadn't done my research before posting, that would have given me more useful things to do. FWIW, I have been there and done that too (been a programmer for nearly 50 years) so I believe I'm qualified to participate in the discussion about giving help. My concern is that on any number of posts I read, I have found some responders who prefer to give technique advice rather than deal with the issue at hand. Yes, I know that some folks need that, but often the tone of the response comes across like I'm smarter than you. If the responder had the sensitivity to phrase their words like you may already know this, but what you are doing is no longer considered best practice in the industry it would be a lot easier to handle. But derailing a thread into a discussion of what is a better practice rarely helps get the issue solved in short term. On the specific issue of the CF UI stuff, I agree that most of it is poor. I have wasted numerous hours myself and thrown away things like cfgrid. Fortunately, apart from the differences from CF8 to CF9, the cwindow code has been excellent in my apps so I am in no hurry to rewrite all that code. ~| 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:358609 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Unable to add text to HTML HEAD tag
I'm doing some testing on my new CF10 desktop system and have run into an odd one that I can't figure out. This program has been running OK for several years but when I ran it in CF10 it generated the error message Unable to add text to HTML HEAD tag. It did this at the end of the page after everything else looked fine. The error line it contained was a cfjaxaproxy inside a CFWINDOW tag. The detailed explanation says This is probably because you have already used a CFFLUSH tag in your template or buffered output is turned off. I haven't used a CFFLUSH and my administrator is set for 1024 buffering (the default). When I comment out the CFWINDOW tag it runs fine. The CFWINDOW is this: cfwindow name=Invoice modal=true resizable=false title=Invoice Details width=320 height=300 x=500 y=170 bodyStyle=font-size:12px; font-family: verdana; color: black; text-align: left; headerStyle=font-size:13px; font-weight:bold; font-family:Verdana; background-color: ##003399; color: white; text-align:left; cfajaximport tags=cfform, cfwindow scriptsrc=/CFIDE/scripts /cfwindow I took out the cfajaximport but the error just moved to another line number.

Re: Unable to add text to HTML HEAD tag
I don't dispute that rewriting it might be the best long term solution. And perhaps doing it in pieces is smart too (although I'd hate to be the person who had to maintain the application when it is in the middle.) But I wasn't asking for advice on CF programming strategy, rather I was looking for help on one particular problem, after having spent a few hours with no results from searches and tests. It annoys me (and I'm sure others) when people feel compelled to advise/lecture on programming techniques rather than discuss the issue. It also detracts from the quality of discussion because who wants to put themselves up for that criticism? Clearly anyone who advises me on my problem must be as dumb and inexperienced as I am!

Re: ColdFusion 10 does not allow Access datasource
At the moment I have the Access datasources working. Here is what solved it for me: The underlying issue was that message that said The ColdFusion ODBC Server service is not running or has not been installed. I observed the behaviour of the ODBC server and realized that it was running fine after an install (I redid the CF10 instrall) but it was the next reboot that caused things to stop working. I located an error message in the log that said ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server@LOCALHOST,ErrorCode=430,ErrorMessage=Failed to open event trace file because the file version is not recognised. And when I googled that one I ran into a similar problem on CF9 where the person reporting it said I have solved this problem by deleting all of the .trc files in folder C:\ColdFusion9\db\slserver54\tracing. Once that was done, I was able to successfully start the ODBC Server ODBC Agent services. After deleting the .trc files from C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\db\slserver54\tracing I was able to start the services manually. I then rebooted and it worked. I am not sure that this is a long term fix but it is working. I notice that the 2 .trc files are back in that folder and hope thay are correct now.

ColdFusion 10 does not allow Access datasource
I have a newly installed CF10 system working on my desktop (developer) machine, including several working SQL Server datasources.

Now, when I attempt to add a new datasource, I get the message The ColdFusion ODBC Server service is not running or has not been installed.

Re: ColdFusion 10 does not allow Access datasource
The only option is to use the workarounds to get a 32bit ODBC DSN setup. This also means you will have hosting problems, as Windows is 64bit only since Server 2008, so you wont be able to setup a CF DSN unless the host is willing to also do this workaround for you or unless they are still running Windows 2003. Actually I have read and tried this very workaround. And being on my desktop, I don't have a hoster to worry about at the moment. But when I click on Add (step 3 in that article), I get the above message. So I can't even get into the workaround any more.

Re: ColdFusion 10 does not allow Access datasource
Are you able to manually create a 32-bit ODBC connection to your Access database? If you weren't aware already, you need to run the 32-bit Windows ODBC data sources applet from inside \Windows\SysWOW64 to access the 32-bit stuff. If you can do that successfully, then try connecting to that 32-bit ODBC data source from within CF Administrator. If you mean can I run C:\Windows\SYSWOW64\odbcad32.exe, the answer is yes. It allows me to select an Access datasource and to specify the mdb file. But when I go back into the CF administrator I again get that error message when I try an add of a Microsoft Access file. You said that I should try connecting it with the administrator. Does that mean something other than trying to add it as I have done?

Re: ColdFusion 10 does not allow Access datasource
Is the service running? I went into Services and the ODBC service is defined and it set up as automatic. When I started it, it said it started and then stopped. It indicated that some services only start when they are needed. I then made it manual and started it again and received the same message. So I think that it believes it is there and is able to run.

Re: ColdFusion 10 does not allow Access datasource
This is going to sound a bit basic, but did you actually install the ODBC drivers when you installed ColdFusion? I have no problem with suggesting basic stuff ... I make errors like everyone else. But the fact that the ColdFusion 10 ODBC Server is in Services should suggest that it is actually there. Just out of curiosity, I know you mentioned the reason behind this in another thread, but is there any chance that this maybe the time to just bite the bullet and export the data into a SQL DB?

ColdFusion 10 configuration wizard doesn't start

It simply serves up a blank page from the URL http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm The CF9 pages continue to run fine but any attempt to pull up the administrator fails (being the same URL).

Re: ColdFusion 10 configuration wizard doesn't start
CF9 refuses to stop. Even after a reboot and the first thing I did was go into services and clicked on stop. I noticed that each version has a tool in the program folder called web server configuration tool and when I ran it for each version (thinking I might use it to alter what port it was listening on), each tool suggested that IIS was set for all requests. So I guess I have a conflict. Perhaps I need to uninstall both and then reinstall CF10. I had hoped that by installing CF10 when CF9 was already there, it would be able to migrate some useful things and might give me the option of taking over all CF requests by CF10. But no luck. Any other ideas? ~| 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:358412 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: ColdFusion 10 configuration wizard doesn't start
I appreciate the help. I am primarily a CF application guy but I usually have enough Windows skills to keep things working OK on my development desktop machine. (I've done CF6 onwards and kept it going on my desktop.) I am unclear on connectors and don't believe that I saw or answered any questions about them. I was looking for options/questions that would allow me to distinguish between the 2 versions but saw very little. I am sorry but it looks like I am over my head.

ColdFusion 10 install fails with code 0x800700c1
Sorry to post a second install problem ... I'm feeling like a real dummy today. I just cleaned out my CF9 development install that had run well for several years and did a clean CF10 install.

No I didn't. How do I uninstall a connector? (Given that I don't really understand what a connector is.) I read a post of yours elsewhere also suggesting using the bultin web server. My rationale for staying with IIS is that I want to test on a system very similar to what it will be deployed on. I also have a Microsoft Access app to test eventually and I need to confirm that the app works in this environment before the ISP cuts it over. ~| 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:358421 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: ColdFusion 10 install fails with code 0x800700c1
Dave, you indicated that I should have uninstalled the CF9 connectors before starting the install. Given that I didn't and that I no longer have a CF9 system, how would I go about removing them? Do I now need to re-install CF9, remove the connector and then uninstall it? I hope not. I can't see any evidence of CF9 files kicking around but it may be that IIS is trying to send the cfm page request to the wrong place. Please let's not get into a discussion about Microsoft Access. I am very aware that it is obsolete and should not be used, but I have a legacy app that produces Access databases that I am stuck with for now.

Re: Need to wait on Bind to complete before submitting a CFFORM
I played around with several alternatives and eventually concluded that the cleanest solution was to use a single hidden variable with JavaScript validation which went to a small JavaScript function. The function calls a cfc which does the database look-up and returns true or false. This should work on future releases and is not dependent on the js framework (which has been known to change). ~| 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:353991 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Need to wait on Bind to complete before submitting a CFFORM
I have a situation where a CFDIV bind expression needs to complete before the
cfform click takes effect. My assumption was that the Bind could set a hidden
variable that would trigger a CFINPUT error routine when the cfform's button
was pressed. But it turns out that the variable doe not update in time for this
to work.
Is there any way to tell the submit button to wait for the CFDIV bind to
complete?
Here's a code fragment to show what I was trying to do.
cfinput name=Password type=password tabindex=12 value=#DefPassword#
size=20 required=yes message=Please enter your Password
cfdiv style=float:right; width: 100px; ID=Userdiv

valid for the Email Address or Userid you entered name=LogonError1

Re: Need to wait on Bind to complete before submitting a CFFORM
Have the form call a custom function onsubmit and check the values in your form fields before it allows form submission. I'm probably missing something here but I need to lookup data in a database after the email address and password are provided. I was using a cfc behind the scenes to do that when the bind was triggered and then updating the on-page variable. How might I do that from the submit button? I'm really hoping to be able to post any bad email/password error message in a javascript window alert and not do it on a new page. ~| 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:353976 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Need to wait on Bind to complete before submitting a CFFORM
Why don't you use a javascript submit interception, then the Javascript could check the results returned in the div and allow the submit or not? I think that solution has the same problem. Because the bind is asynchronous, it doesn't necessarily finish execution when you are in the submit logic. I found from testing it out and issuing javascript alert messages that usually the submit fires before the bind runs. ~| 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:353977 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Struggling to code accents into a cfinput regex pattern
I am still trying to code a regex pattern for my cfinput that accepts the usual
accented characters you find in languages such as French. I need something that
allows people to enter their names when they contain accented characters. I
realize that names can be even broader than this but I am quite happy to
include all of the traditional alphabet, blanks, quotes, hyphens and accented
characters. What I would like to code is this: pattern=^[a-zA-ZÀ-ÿ'\-\
]{1,50}$
But it seems that when I insert the little piece À-ÿ it fails inside the
ColdFusion javascript.
Is there some way I can code this in my cfinput pattern so that the regex does
accept that range of accented characters?

Re: How do you allow accented characters in a cfinput regex?
OK, I think I tried what you suggested--here is exactly what I did:
Added this to the page: cfprocessingdirective pageencoding=utf-8
Made the cfinput: cfinput type=text name=FName required=yes size=30
validate=regex pattern=[:alpha:] message=Please enter a valid First
Name
This now allows nearly anything in the field, including characters that are not
valid in names, such as $ or slash. It also leaves out the {2,50} length spec.
So it doesn't seem to do what I need.

How do you allow accented characters in a cfinput regex?
I've read a whole bunch and tried many things but I can't seem to get my regex

cfinput currently looks like this:
cfinput type=text name=FName required=yes size=30 validate=regex

It is fine on non-accented names like John or hyphenated names but as soon as I
enter a name with accents, it posts an error. For example, Agnès.
I've played with other versions including :alpha: and [A-Za-zÀ-ÿ'\-\ ] but
nothing seems to work correctly.
Sure would appreciate some help on this ... what am I missing?

Sorry I don't know how to do that.

Disable submit button after CFFORM validation?
I can disable a submit button using javascript (onclick=this.disabled=true;return true) but this occurs before the ColdFusion input field validation. The problem is that if the form does not pass validation, you cannot resubmit it after the errors are corrected because the submit button is disabled.

onclick to open cfwindow fails in IE8
I have a strange bug where this code works on IE9, FF, Opera, etc. but fails on
IE8. It appears to be trying to execute the href and ignores the function that
creates and opens the window. I realize that this may be a JavaScript issue in
IE8 but due toe the CF involved I doubt that it will be understood on that list.
The function is defined like this:
script
function makeWin(x,y,z,num,title) {
ColdFusion.Window.create('ImageWindow'+num,title,'Image.cfm?ID='+z,{x:150,y:y+80,height:640,width:840});
}
/script
I call it from several places like this:
a href=##
onClick=makeWin(event.pageX,event.pageY,'SeatonL.jpg',0,'Whitevale GC in
relation to the Seaton Master Plan');return false;
img src=SeatonS.jpg style=position: absolute; left: 700px;/a
I have tried several variations such deleting the href or taking out the #
signs but nothing changes. I even went from strict.dtd to transitional.dtd.
Any ideas on how to make this work on IE8

I've done some further isolation and deleted a lot of extraneous code. By adding a hello world alert I found it it is actually executing the function.

Normally when you click on an image button inside a CFFORM, the coordinates are
passed to the form processor. This is a simple way to support multiple buttons

which button was pressed.
I couldn't figure out why this wasn't working inside a CFWINDOW and eventually
I stripped out all the extraneous code until I discovered that when the CFFORM
is inside a CFWINDOW, it no longer passes the coordinates. Is that documented?
Can anyone comment on that situation?
If anyone wants to play around with it, my test program is in 2 pieces below,
the page that opens the CFWINDOW followed by the CFWINDOW code which dumps the
FORM fields.

Great, thanx for the explanation. I use firebug for CSS and errors but hadn't
understood how the other tabs worked.

Re: Trying to set cfform focus in an Ajax window
That's not the code I wrote ... I set focus in the source. So does this look like another CF9 bug, that it doesn't call my function? My source code is above in this thread so I won't repeat it. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337731 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Trying to set cfform focus in an Ajax window
I too am trying not to get frustrated. I appreciate that you are trying to help
and I suspect we are caught in semantics based on different technology
experiences.
In any event, I have learned more about what Firebug can do and the statement
that should trigger the focus is in the code being sent to the browser. At
present it's inside the AjaxOnLoad function and the JavaScript statement just
before the HTML (calling LoginInit)should be triggering it:
script type=text/javascript/* ![CDATA[ */
ColdFusion.Event.registerOnLoad(LoginInit,{_cf_containerId:'Login_body'},false,true);
/* ]] *//script
I know this works because I also have put an alert in there and the alert fires
(and have removed it as well).
When I go to the original (which I believe is what you would like to see there,
I replace the AjaxOnLoad with:
script
document.LoginForm.AccessID.focus();
/script
It also shows up in the code sent to the browser but generates the run time
error:
document.LoginForm is undefined

Re: Trying to set cfform focus in an Ajax window
You may have to lead me into what exactly you'd like to see, but here is what I
have coded and I'll be happy to view source and get you something else ...
There are any number of pages that could force a login, and the do it from this
sequence:
a
href=javascript:ColdFusion.Window.show('Login');ColdFusion.navigate('../MemberLogin.cfm','Login');
bMembers Only/b/a
The login processor does some server stuff and then shows the form:
div id=LoginDiv
cfif LoginMsg
pPlease identify yourself, then press quot;Submitquot;/p
cfelse
p class=errormsgIncorrect Access ID or Password. Please try
again./p/cfif
cfoutput
cfform name=LoginForm
table id=LoginBox
tr height=21
td width=100bAccess ID/b/td
td width=100cfinput name=AccessID validate=range
range=1000,4999 value=#DefAccessID# size=8 ID=AccessID
required=yes message=A valid Access ID is required //td
/tr
tr height=21
tdbPassword/b/td
tdcfinput name=Password type=password value=#DefPassword#

message=A password is required //td
/tr
tr height=21

/tr
/table
cfinput name=Submit type=image value=Submit
src=../Buttons/MSubmit.png /
/cfform
/cfoutput/div
cfset AjaxOnLoad('LoginInit')
/cfif
The LoginInit function is:
function LoginInit() {
document.LoginForm.AccessID.focus();
// document.getElementById(AccessID).focus();
}
What else can I show you?

Re: Trying to set cfform focus in an Ajax window
Well I certainly understand that CF has to compile it before it runs it, but I have never concerned myself with that step. How would I see the compiled source?

Re: Trying to set cfform focus in an Ajax window
It might be that the form hasn't been added to the dom, though that's usually not the case since the js comes after the form code. However if you'll remember a few days ago I suggested: 1. Wrap your JS code at the bottom of the page in a function and execute the function when the ajax call completes. 2. Add your focus setting code into a callback function on the ajax call. That advice is still sound. On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 4:56 PM, John Pullam jpul...@mcleansystems.comwrote: Must admit that I'm not really sure what you are suggesting. e.g., what do you mean a callback function on the ajax call? In any event, it all seems fairly consistent at the moment. I have converted to using AjaxOnLoad and the function contains either: document.LoginForm.AccessID.focus(); or document.getElementById(AccessID).focus(); Regardless of which I use, it works fine in Opera, Chrome and Safari. Neither work in IE, and in Firefox, the cursor is set but it moves away again in about a second. Very strange but it is not worth the amount of time being spent so I will probably give up on ever fixing it and assume it is some kind of CF9 issue that will get resolved over time. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337661 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Trying to set cfform focus in an Ajax window
I don't understand what you are trying to tell me. I don't currently use jquery so I can't really follow if you are doing something different. My case seems simple. I have inserted an alert (which fires) in the script so I am confident that the JavaScript code is being executed, but it simply isn't resolving the focus() ... is it perhaps trying to do that at the wrong time? My JavaScript/firebug skills are not far enough along to be able to understand the DOM when I look at it. But it seems to me that I've tried every combo of id and name and of trying to access the field in my JavaScript and still nothing. Can anyone suggest something I should look for in the DOM? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337571 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Trying to set cfform focus in an Ajax window
No problem posting my code and providing a URL of it in action. The following
is one of the many that I've tried which I believe to be syntactically correct.
I left the JavaScript alert in so that you can see that it fires.
First one of the calling pages:
cfinclude template=../AutoLogin.cfm!--- Goes to member home page if it
logged someone in ---
!--- Either no cookie, or no valid auto-login so just show the splash page ---

{
var winW = 630;

if (navigator.appName==Netscape || navigator.appName==Opera) {
winW = window.innerWidth;
}
if (navigator.appName.indexOf(Microsoft)!=-1) {
winW = document.body.offsetWidth;
}
}
document.images[image0].width = winW;
}
/script
/head

cfinclude template=../LoginWindow.cfm
/body
/html
Next the template LoginWindow which it calls:

Next the entire template MemberLogin.cfm which it calls to process:

alert(document.LoginForm); gives the message undefined. I assume that means that at the time the JavaScript is executing there is no such object in the DOM.

Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
I have only one special mapping for a directory that has some externally provided cfc's called /cfc but to reference those ones, the code prefaces the calls with cfc. In the case I am describing above, I'm just doing the simple thing of looking for a cfc in the same directory as the invoking web page, so I don't believe that any mapping is needed. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335464 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
I think that I have isolated it pretty well now ... It can find the CFC if both the invoking web page and the CFC are in the document root (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\) and it can find it if I create a subdirectory from there, e.g., c:\inetpub\wwwroot\real\ and move them both to it. But if I create a virtual directory that points into my website pages and place both modules there then it fails. I went back to my old CF8 system and tested it the same way and satisfied myself that there is no such problem in CF8. So my conclusion is that CF9 is not able to find the CFC when it is in a virtual directory, even though the calling page is in the same virtual directory. I am using a new Windows 7 Professional system which means I am running IIS 7. So I figure that the issue is either a CF9 bug or something that needs to be changed in the IIS 7 setup. (But if I can access the web page, could anything else need to be done to access the CFC?) Any ideas? If I get nothing back I will post this to Adobe and see if they can provide help. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335452 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
That surprises me. Virtual directories work fine in CF8 and I have been using them like that on my development desktop for several years without a problem. Can you please provide me more information about your statement? Specifically: - what is the limitation? - is it an IIS issue or CF? - did it just happen on CF9? - is there any documentation that explains this limitation? If I can't use virtual directories, what is the approach that others use for testing on a desktop with multiple CF websites? Put all the data on the c: drive in wwwroot? (It seems more logical to me to use virtual directories and keep them with the rest of my files.)

Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
This is a variation of a question I posted a few days ago that didn't get resolved, so please bear with me. It seems simple but I am not getting anywhere with it. I have a test page (TestCFC.cfm) that binds to a CFC (TestCFC2.cfm) that is in the same directory. This used to work on CF8 but it doesn't on CF9. I keep being told that The specified CFC TestCFC2 could not be found. I don't understand why it can't be found because the manual says that for bind expressions, The componentPath value must be a dot-delimited path from the web root or the directory that contains the current page. My calling page contains: cfform cfselect name=oSLevel bind=cfc:TestCFC2.GetRoles() bindonload=true value=m / /cfform The CFC it calls is: cfcomponent !--- Function to populate the Roles drop-down --- cffunction name=GetRoles access=remote returnType=array cfset var result=ArrayNew(2) cfset var i=2 cfset var item= cfset result[1][1]= cfset result[1][2]=-- Select -- cfset result[2][1]=m cfset result[2][2]=person cfreturn result /cffunction /cfcomponent Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Re: Connecting to CFC's in the same directory in CF9.
OK, several replies ... 1 - Yes, I made that stupid error. After I renamed it to CFC, it worked correctly on the live CF9 system. 2 - Even with that fixed, it fails on my desktop (that was the original problem and I was trying to narrow it down). So when I have the calling page on localhost and the CFC in the same directory, it can't find it. 3 - I just applied the 9.0.1 update (after much grief) and that didn't fix it. So I may have a CF9 bug here ... it can't find the CFC even though it is in the same directory.

Re: Coldfusion 8 vs 9 - cfc mapping differences?
John, I am not sure what your problem is here, when doing any work like this ColdFusion will try to look into the root of the website. Unless you specify a mapping or have set something up in IIS or apache. The code that you have shown to us will be trying to execute a cfc in the root of the website called BSelects, are you 100% certain that you have no other configuration difference between the 2 installations of ColdFusion? I'm struggling a bit with running some previously operational applications under CF9. It seems that most of my challenge comes from cfc invocation. I've been browsing around trying to understand what has changed but haven't come up with anything much. Ok, that's useful information. Just to expand on the situation a little, I'm moving from CF8 on Win XP to CF9 on Win 7 so there is clearly an environmental difference. In both cases I am doing this on my desktop which is where I always test, so all of my customer sites are under localhost with separate directories. I assume that means that the document root is actually up one level from where it is in production and it is trying to pull BSelects from the wrong one. But when I examine the older Win XP config everything appears to me to be the same as now. So assuming that the problem is that the cfc is trying to come from the higher directory, why didn't it do that in CF8? I checked lots of settings and don't see anywhere that I could have even overridden that. Have the new application.cfc and the expanded settings introduced something new into the mix? Sorry but I'm still struggling ... ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:335251 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

The ColdFusion 9 Developer's Guide says on page 650 under Using Bind Expressions: cfc:componentPath.functionName(parameters) Note: The component path cannot use a mapping. The componentPath value must be a dot-delimited path from the web root or the directory that contains the current page. That seems to confirm that it can be the path from the directory that contains the current page, which is what has worked previously in my CF8 system.

Re: How can you GetFileInfo for a datasource?
This info is not made readily available unless you unlock it. You need access to the database... Open the database Go to tools--Options Check the box under *show* that says *system Objects*.

Now Go to Tools--Security--User and Group Permissions Select the MSysObjects table and check the box that says Read Data Then...

Re: Using two submit buttons to control form action
Thanx for all the feedback. I'm about 95% sure that I've done all this before
and made it work. And the examples given have been tried too. There must be
something different in my case. This simple use of 2 buttons on a page worked
for me. But when I put it back into the live case it fails, so I think I am
missing something there.
I have trimmed out irrelevant code in an attempt to get this down to a basic

Then what I am reading is that ColdFusion simply doesn't do a correct job of processing cfform submit buttons when used in a cfwindow.

Perhaps I need to go in and make sure that I keep saying it, just in case. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
