Re: Query of a query inconsistancies
Ah. That link explains it all.The OrderDate fields are not unique.

In standard SQL that would not include the OrderDate column because each field you select without aggregating it needs to be in the list of fields you group by. So in standard SQL this query can not produce any fields other then totalcount, totalcost (both aggregates) and UserID (group by). For some reason in MySQL this braindead syntax is allowed, but even the manual says the result may be 'unpredictable', which appears to be exactly what you are encountering: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/GROUP-BY-hidden-fields.html It is better to stay away from non standard SQL unless you understand every detail of the consequences.

Re: CFFTP and 80 byte wide files
Are you talking about the length of the lines in your text file not being over 80 chars. long?

Also, COBOL has some issues with certain things being in certain columns and only so many (80) chars. wide, for a similar reason. If you are uploading a text file to a mainframe that is going to be read by some legacy app., written in COBOL or something, then this makes sense.

Yes it supports rules, however MS has a very annoying bug where every now and then one of two things happens. 1) You are just receiving email, you close the program down and not realized that the program was doing this. Every so often the program keeps running in the background, what will 90% of the time happen is that all this email coming in will go directly into the inbox and because you have closed outlook there are NO rules to be run. 2) When you open outlook it will sometimes, for no apparent reason or even any form of pattern that I can find as yet! Where the rules get ignored all together, now to resort the thousands of email I get this is very painstaking to move around having to click on each message and look at the sent to field to determine which of the 200 folders to put it into!! Now most would not be affected by those 2 scenarios, however I find that outlook does do the above on a regular basis on 9 machines that I have sat at and even software wise that is installed before or after is not even remotely the same in most cases.

Re: Thoughts
cfcache is your friend. CFML Language Reference -- Chapter 1 : ColdFusion Tags CFCACHE CFCACHE allows you to speed up pages considerably in cases where the dynamic content doesn't need to be retrieved each time a user accesses the page. To accomplish this, it creates temporary files that contain the static HTML returned from a particular run of the ColdFusion page. You can use CFCACHE for simple URLs and URLs that contain URL parameters. Syntax CFCACHE ACTION=CACHE or FLUSH or CLIENTCACHE or OPTIMAL USERNAME=username PASSWORD=password PROTOCOL=protocol_name TIMEOUT=#DateAdd(datepart, number, date)# DIRECTORY=directory_name_for_map_file CACHEDIRECTORY=directory_name_for_cached_pages EXPIREURL=wildcarded_URL_reference PORT= port_number ACTION Optional. Specifies one of the following: a.. CACHE -- Specifies server-side caching. The default is CACHE. b.. FLUSH -- Refresh the cached page. If you specify FLUSH, you can also specify the DIRECTORY and EXPIREURL attributes. c.. CLIENTCACHE --Specifies browser caching. d.. OPTIMAL--Specifies optimal caching through a combination of server-side and browser caching. See the Usage section for more information. USERNAME Optional. When required for basic authentication, a valid username. PASSWORD Optional. When required for basic authentication, a valid password. PROTOCOL Optional. Specifies the protocol used to create pages from cache. Specify either HTTP:// or HTTPS://. The default is HTTP://. TIMEOUT Optional. DateTime that specifies the oldest acceptable cached page. If the cached page is older than the specified datetime, ColdFusion refreshes the page. By default, ColdFusion uses all cached pages. For example, if you want a cached file to be no older than 4 hours, code the following: CFCACHE TIMEOUT=#DateAdd(h, -4, Now() )# DIRECTORY Optional. Used with ACTION=FLUSH. Specifies the fully qualified path of a directory containing the cfcache.map to be used when ACTION=FLUSH. The default is the directory of the current page. CACHEDIRECTORY Optional. Specifies the fully qualified path of the directory where the pages are to be cached. The default is the directory of the current page. EXPIREURL Optional. Used with ACTION=FLUSH. EXPIREURL takes a wildcarded URL reference that ColdFusion matches against all mappings in the cfcache.map file. The default is to flush all mappings. For example, foo.cfm matches foo.cfm; foo.cfm?* matches foo.cfm?x=5 and foo.cfm?x=9. PORT Optional. The port number of the web server from which the page is being requested. The port number defaults to 80. The port number is useful because the CFCACHE code calls CFHTTP. If the port number is specified correctly in the internal call to CFHTTP, the URL of each retrieved document is resolved to preserve links. Usage In its simplest form, all you need to do is code CFCACHE at the top of a page for it to be cached. With the ACTION attribute, you can specify server-side caching, browser caching, or a combination of server-side and browser caching. The advantage of browser caching is that it takes no ColdFusion resources because the browser stores the pages in its own cache, thus, improving performance. The advantage of using a combination of the two forms of caching is that it optimizes performance; if the browser cache times out, the server can retrieve the cached data from its own cache. In addition to the cached files themselves, CFCACHE uses a mapping file to control caching. It is named cfcache.map and uses a format similar to a Windows INI file. The mapping of a URL with parameters is stored as follows. Assume a directory c:\InetPub\wwwroot\dir1 that has a CFM file called foo.cfm, which can be invoked with or without URL parameters. The cfcache.map file entries for foo.cfm will look like this: [foo.cfm] Mapping=C:\InetPub\wwwroot\dir1\CFCBD.tmp SourceTimeStamp=08/31/1999 08:59:04 AM [foo.cfm?x=5] Mapping=C:\InetPub\wwwroot\dir1\CFCBE.tmp SourceTimeStamp=08/31/1999 08:59:04 AM [foo.cfm?x=9] Mapping=C:\InetPub\wwwroot\dir1\CFCBF.tmp SourceTimeStamp=08/31/1999 08:59:04 AM The cfcache.map file in a given directory stores mappings for that directory only. Any time the timestamp of the underlying page changes, ColdFusion updates the cache file for that URL only. ColdFusion uses the SourceTimeStamp field to determine if the currently cached file is up to date or needs to be rebuilt. You can refresh the cache in the following ways: a.. TIMEOUT attribute -- ColdFusion tests the timestamp of the cached file against the TIMEOUT attribute. If the cached file's timestamp is older than TIMEOUT, the old file is deleted and a new one created. You can use fixed dates if necessary, but it's preferable to use relative dates. This is the preferred technique and it works for seconds, hours, days, weeks, years, etc. b.. ACTION=FLUSH -- You use ACTION=FLUSH to

Re: Crystal Reports without cfreport

Re: I dont understand session locking :(
i know why, but i dont know why! Why won't CF just lock it all the time automatically You can set up automatic read locking in CF Admin, though I *think* it gives you less control on a line by line level if you need it =-/ who would want shared data with sessions when they can already use an application variable for that. They shouldn't as long as the data isn't dependant upon who is accessing it. Application variables are application wide, meaning all users see the same info. Session variables are user speciffic, meaning each user can have some different data, but it's still a shared memory variable. They both exist for a reason :) Also I dont understand nested lockings and how it works. All I usually end up doing is putting a Session lock around every session variable I see. or if the session is used in a CFIF tag, i put the lock around that CFIF tag (not the closing CFIF tag). Or if there are a bunch of session variavles being read/written to, i put a session lock over them. heck, why not just surround the whole page with one This might be a 'broad' explanation of why this is bad, but here ya go: If you wrap a lock around a section of code, that code can become single-threaded .. meaning that only one person can have access to that code at one time. If you wrap an entire page with a lock, then it potentially can't be executed by more than 1 person at a time. This can be a serious performance issue, as I'm sure you can see. That's why it's important only to lock the section of code you absolutely need to. I might be way off, but that's just how I've always thought of it .. why lock more than you have to? Say you have 10 Session variables and 9 are read from and one is written to. A read lock will allow several people to read from that variable at once, but prevents someone from writing to it until all the reads are done. Exclusively locking a variable will not let anyone access the variable in any way as long as there is one person accessing that variable. I doesn't make much sense to exclusively lock all 10 variables when you only have to do one. This might cause some serious performance hits if that page is at all popular. In the case where you have a bunch of Session variables that are being read and written to all in a short period of time, you will have to use your best judgement as to when to locks groups of code, or individual lines. There is a performance hit to grouping entire blocks of code in a lock, but there is also one to making a lock, letting it go, and then recreating a new one repetatively. I've only made a very generalised explanation, and I'm probably not 100% accurate in a few places, but you should get a basic answer to your questions from it :) Todd ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: How do these things happen?
Turn on your debugging and look to see if the query shows up in your list of run queries. That will give you a better starting point from which to figure out what's really going on. I'm guessing that the ID isn't really getting passed, or it's some weird ID that doesn't satisfy the if statement.

connectstring and server hangs
We are using connectstring to connect to an ODBC database. It works fine unless the connectstring that gets passed has incorrect data in it. If that happens, the connection just hangs and doesn't time out .. at least not for a long time. Once we get 5 of these in a row, it's bye-bye CF server until the service is restarted. This is driving me crazy. I can't figure out why this is happening. Does anyone know exactly how CF and the connectstring and the database interract? Is there a way to force either CF or the database to throw an error instead of just locking a process and sitting there forever? Here's what I get in my log file: 2001-07-13 15:40:54 Information 538 The ColdFusion Application Server started. 2001-07-13 15:40:48 Error 438 ExprParser: CFuncIsDefined::DoIt: unknown 2001-07-13 15:40:48 Fatal 438 Unknown error threshold reached.

connecting to many databases using the same DSN
OK .. I've asked this question a couple of times and, so far, no one has had an answer. Well, I finaly figured out the answer with help from my DBA. The main question has been How do I connect to different databases using the same DSN!! I don't know how usefull anyone else would find this, but it was of major importance to us, so I'm going to throw it out there in case someone else ever wants to know how. Basicly, you use the connectstring parameter of cfquery. It would look something like this: cfquery name=qry_myReallyCoolQuery datasource=#Client.userDSN# connectstring=uid=#Client.UserID#;pwd=#Client.Password#;dbf=#Client.myDBFil e#;svr=#Client.myDBServer#;links=#Client.DBServerLink# cachedwithin=#createTimeSpan(0,0,0,0)# This connectstring is for a Sybase database/engine. It breaks down like this: !--- Begin 1: You don't have to include these in the connectstring if you want to use them in cfquery, but for our needs, putting them in the connectstring makes sense, since we store the whole connectstring in a Client variable and the uid and pwd passed to the server determines access permissions. --- uid = cfquery's username attribute pwd = cfquery's password attribute !--- End 1 dbf = the name of the database file you wish to actually connect to as seen by the computer that runs the database engine (ex: E:\my_path\to_the\database_file\database.db) svr = the name of the database engine that CF should look for to find the dbf (optional if you have one db engine) links = the protocol info CF might need to connect to the database (in our case, 'NetBIOS') I havn't tried this with any other database, so I don't know if the syntax is the same, but hopefully you get the idea.

Let me try to explain again. We have an app. 1 machine isn't going to be able to handle 1000 companies using that app. So, we have a cluster of, say, 5 machines and 1 database server. Any company can hit any machine in the cluster depending on when they show up. Right now, we are using a different DNS for each company. Since they could hit and of the 5 machines, we would need to have all 1000 DSNs on all 5 machines. This doesn't sound like the best idea. A single DSN where we can pass the name of the database file to access would be much better, but I'm having trouble getting this to work.

Re: Drop-down menu and redirect based on selection
| First of all, don't use CFFORM. In fact, NEVER use CFFORM. Roll your own | JavaScripts for validation instead. Why not? For _simple_ validation, it's quick, it's easy, and it does the job. Besides, when you combine it with CF validation and then database validation on top of that, it's not quite as critical that the JS gets it 100% all the time. Besides, what if some wiseguy makes a copy of your form, alters the JS and then submits it to your site. At that point, it's the CF and database validation that really matter. Now, I know there are ways to prevent something like that from happening, but my point is, to me, JS is just a nice thing I do for the users to save them some time. I don't rely on it for any type of serious data validation/formatting. So, for me, the default stuff in cfform works just fine, unless I need the data stored in some format other than the CF_javascript will accept.

OT: JavaScript Help
This is slowly driving me insane .. you would think this would be an easy
thing to do (what I'm trying to accomplish, not driving me insane =-p )
I have a table with dynamicly generated rows. Each row has 2 cells. The
first cell in each row has an ID. When a row is clicked it triggers a
JavaScript function and passes the ID of the first cell to it. When this
happens, I want the function to change the background color of the first
cell. Here is what I have so far:
function addStudentToList(studentPK) {
tdID = id + studentPK;
if (studentList.Item(studentPK) == studentPK) {
studentList.Remove(studentPK);
document.all.tdID.runtimeStyle.backgroundColor =
document.all.tdID.style.backgroundColor;
}
else {
studentList.Item(studentPK) = studentPK;
document.all.tdID.runtimeStyle.backgroundColor = yellow;
}
}
tdID is the variable that contains the ID of the first cell. It looks
something like id38, etc. How do I get JavaScript to evaluate tdID into
its true value and not think that I'm refering to an object named tdID?
Anyone?

Re: Need decryptor tag for CFUG presentation
There is a very grey line here .. maybe. Take this real life example: We had a father/son team that worked for my company. The father was one of the ones who helped start the company and greatly responisble for making it successful durring its startup phase. As the company grew, the ideas about how it should continue differed between one of the founders and the father. The father eventually left on somewhat 'bad' terms. Soon after, his son also left the company .. also on somewhat bad terms. The father joined a company that made similar, but not competing products. Soon after, that company decided to make a competing product. Luckily, the father knew the industry, but not how the product was made. Unfortunately, the son worked on the product itself and knew a fair bit about how it worked. The son had some copies of the compiled code. He and a buddy managed to reverse engineer it and (as far as we know), deliver the source code to the competing company so they could learn how the program worked. I'm sure the intent was to learn how we did things and, ahem, build on those ideas. Was this just leanring from another developer to learn how to dome something better, or, was it plain code theft. Is there a difference in this case (they were using a different language)?Luckily, they weren't too bright and wasted time building a product for a market that was already at least 50% saturated (a lot for market share among government agencies ;), so they weren't much of a threat .. but still Now .. most would certainly agree that this is just flat out wrong, ethicly as well as legaly, but the grey area is .. how wrong is it, ethicly, to reverse engineer a program to learn how another developer accomplished something so that a particular way of doing things can be learned to build a non competing product?

Re: Need decryptor tag for CFUG presentation
We consulted one .. Unfortunately, while we *can* prove this, through at least one E-mail, we legaly intercepted, we didn't have the time or the finances to persue the matter, since we were actively engaging the Texas Department on Aging in major contract negotiations and didn't have the resources to spare. Also, the son was not an employee of the company in question, so collecting damages from him, personaly, would be difficult at best. In short, the whole legal process would probably cost more than the damages that we would be awarded.

Re: Error pages
This is my first go around so I won't be using cfcatch/cftry (unless I really should) You *always* should, every time you think you *might* run into *any* type of error .. and even when you don't think you will, at all. :) but I'm wondering how many of you have the error page e-mail you with information? My take is that the app should always E-mail/contact *someone* .. it means that the user has done something that no one ever expected and someone needs to do something about it. If so, what information do you have it e-mail to you? All info that the developer needs to fix the prob and that the user should never see .. directory path, file name, database error, etc. Is there a way to have it capture the original error message, the one that appears before the pretty new page, and have that e-mailed off to the admin? Look up the help doc on cfcatch/cftry. The only pretty page that the user needs to see is that an error has occured and that the 'admins' will fix it soon. Anything else should provide contact info to follow-up, if needed. You should be able to combine both functions into one page, so that the app displays both the error to the user and also E-mails the problem to the admin(s).

Re: Here's an idea ... hiding the path of an included file
provided sooner.
Please don't think that I just sit around all the time not caring what
happens to our hosting customers with a Scew it! I'll do it when I get
around to it whenever I feel like it! attitude. Durring the
afformentioned, very, nasty outage, I gave a few customers my home phone
number so they could contact me, personally, after 'normal' work hours if
they needed/wanted to.
So .. as an aside to How long would the rest of you tolerate your hosting
company having your site broken? 15 minutes? 30minutes? How about 2
weeks, how many web hosts do you know that give you direct access to
the network administrator who would also give out his home phone number to
some clients when things got rough?
/To Mike
Like I said before, this is NOT an attack against Mike. He has a *very*
legitimate complaint and I don't blame him for getting frustrated with the
whole mess. I just wanted to represent our point of view.
Mike, if you have anymore concerns, contact me directly, either through
E-mail, or through the toll free number and personal extension, which I will
provide if you want it. I don't mind you posting complaints to the list
(all is fair, afterall, other than the off-topic nature), but a lot of
times, due to the nature of the lists, I don't get any of the E-mails until
several hours after they have been posted. I'd rather address your concerns
sooner than later.
I just don't want there to be any more misunderstandings.

Subject: hiding the path of an included file
I have this in one of my style sheets:
..mask {
cfoutputbehavior :
url(#Attributes.ApplicationPath#/mask_js.htc);/cfoutput
}
When this runs, it shows the path to the mask_js.htc file if someone views
source. I would like to hide this path, so that no one can download thit
file easily. Unfortunately, the behavior property only uses URLs, so I
can't specify an unreachable absolute path.
Any ideas?

Re: Passing 500 client-side variables to the server
A hidden form fiield .. oh jeez!!! I feel so dumb. I've been working on so much complicated code that I'm begining to look for a complicated solution for everything heh I'm not the one coding that section, so I'm not sure what they are. I think they are just one long '' delimited string. I think what we have decided to do is pass the information that the javascript uses to generate the variables (a date range and a data dictionary) to the server and create the variables server-side. We might even let the SQL server do it. This approach is probably faster overall. Thanks all!

Re: Whats happening to Spectra
Theres been a huge discussion about this the last 2 days or so across many of the lists. Check the archives. http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ http://www.mail-archive.com/spectra-talk@houseoffusion.com/ http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-community@houseoffusion.com/ Also, here is a letter from MM: Hi everyone. We really appreciate everyone's patience over the last few weeks. There has been a lot of discussion and concern over the future of Spectra, and I think that the time is right to shed some light on what we are thinking. As you know, Spectra provides developers with a broad set of functionality and technology. Enough so, sometimes its breadth proves daunting. Fundamental to the entire product, however, is its foundation - the content object API. In 1996, when I first started working on Allaire's website, the foundational change that I went through was around thinking about the site as composed of 'content objects.' Over the last 5 years, this core concept has been revised, revolutionized, improved, and expanded. Spectra has been the product that carried this concept forward. This concept, and the content object API, have been the most compelling pieces of Spectra since its inception. Macromedia's goal is to make dynamic content technology like the content object API pervasive, approachable, and cost effective for our developers. To help us better achieve this, we plan to incorporate key components of Spectra technology - a Java-based version of the COAPI architecture and other services directly related to dynamic content - into the application server, as well as delivering next generation dynamic content technologies such as end-user content contribution and team production through a series of new product initiatives. This means that version 1.5 will be Spectra's last feature additive release - we'll invest our resources in making the core technology that we move into our application server and visual tools faster, easier, and better. Macromedia will continue to support Spectra via a community source model, on-going technical support, training, and consulting, as well as having a team of engineers working on bug fixes and quality assurance for community source submissions. Spectra will continue to be offered for sale, using our partners as the primary sales channel. We also will do our best to give you early access to technology previews, alphas, and betas of the new technologies already under development. In the world we live and work in, technology changes constantly, we've all thrived because of our ability to adapt to change. This is no different - a change for the Spectra Product Group, and for every developer, customer and partner out there who has invested their valuable time and mind share into Spectra. While I understand the challenge that a change like this can pose, I am extremely optimistic. The core vision of the Spectra technology is compelling - the opportunity to make this technology available to more developers, cheaper, and better, is a chance that I relish. I hope you share my optimism through this time of change. You can direct questions and comments to a couple of places: 1) Via Phone at: 866-236-1146 (North America Toll Free) 800-25524731, (International Toll Free) 617-219-3010 (Direct Dial Long Distance) 2) Via Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can speak for the Spectra Product Group and Macromedia when I say how much we value the community of developers that use our products. Spectra is no exception. We have an incredible community, and one that we want to continue. -c Todd Ashworth -- Certified ColdFusion Developer Network Administrator Saber Corporation 314 Oakland Ave. Rock Hill, SC 29730 (803) 327-0137 [111] - Original Message - From: Haroon Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2001 9:14 AM Subject: Whats happening to Spectra | Is it just a rumour, or has Spectra been discontinued? | | Haroon Williams | Group IT | Investec Bank | Tel 011 286 7529 | Fax 011 286 7522 | Cell 082 853 4286 | Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | | | | * | NOTICE - This message contains privileged and | confidential information intended only for the use of the | addressee named above.

Re: ENcoding URL
From the CFStudio help files:
Encrypt
Encrypts a string. The Encrypt function uses a symmetric key-based algorithm
in which the key used to encrypt a string is the same key as the one used to
decrypt the string. The security of the encrypted string hinges on
maintaining the secrecy of the key. In particular, Encrypt uses an XOR-based
algorithm that utilizes a pseudo-random 32-bit key based on a seed passed by
the user as a parameter to the function. The resultant data is UUencoded and
may be as much as three times the original size.
See also Decrypt.
Syntax
Encrypt(string, seed)
string
String to be encrypted.
seed
String specifying the seed to be used to generate the 32-bit key needed to
encrypt the string.

sure there is.
encrypt the strings. i do it all the time. i also make the key for
encryption dynamic so the URLs can't be copied pasted.
on top of which, in some cases i URLEncodedFormat() the already encrypted
strings. which further makes them undecipherable.

Re: What and why are these errors happening?
Naa .. the quotes don't matter :) Being forced to use one type of quotes
over another would cause problems in many situations. For example:
cfset Request.MyVar = "IsDefined("Session.ID")"
could cause problems, but
cfset Request.MyVar = "IsDefined('Session.ID')"
would be fine :)

Re: when is CF5 release? (a little OT)
OK .. as a diversion from the current topic, is anyone developing stuff for CF 5 based on what they have seen so far? We are building an app that could benifit from some of CF 5's features.

Re: Documentation (Was: Stupid Question? - Commenting Code That Does Not Show in Browser)
There is something similar to this that the Fusebox folks use. It works pretty well and is standardized. The theory is that you should be able to wirte up your documentation about a page and then hand it over to someone who doesn't know a thing about the project and they would still be able to write the code.

Re: Need assistance:Nested CFLOOPs
When you loop through a list of words, your "counter" isn't a number .. it's the current word you are on in the list. Therefore, the first time through, "counter" is "Limited" .. the second time through, it is LTD. When you use "counter" as a number in ListGetAt(#CompanyList#,#counter#,","), I imagine CF is getting confused and just picking the first thing it finds in the list. Try just cfoutputting your "counter" there instead of using ListGetAt() .. or find the position of your "counter" in your list with ListFind() or ListFindNoCase() and use that in your ListGetAt() Todd Ashworth -- Web Application Developer Network Administrator Saber Corporation 314 Oakland Ave. Rock Hill, SC 29730 (803) 327-0137 [111] - Original Message - From: "Angél Stewart" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "CF-Talk" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 2:42 PM Subject: RE: Need assistance:Nested CFLOOPs | umm..judgement.defendant is changing..thats not the problem. | | The problem is that it is not going over the list of words to search for. | The list called Company List. | | So hence you see Limited,Limited,Limited Limited 7 times in the output. | | When what you should see is | | The Defendant IS:MOHD, SARI | The Current List Item Is:Limited | The Defendant IS:MOHD, SARI | The Current List Item Is:Ltd | The Defendant IS:MOHD, SARI | The Current List Item Is:Ltd. | The Defendant IS:MOHD, SARI | The Current List Item Is:CO | The Defendant IS:MOHD, SARI | The Current List Item Is:CO. | The Defendant IS:MOHD, SARI | The Current List Item Is:THE | | etc. etc. | But it is just picking up that first list item, Limited..and although it is | going over the thing 7 times..its not reading the other items in the list. | | I know there is some simple syntax error somewhere..I just can't find it. | | -Gel | | | | -Original Message- | From: Phoeun Pha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Wednesday, 21 March 2001 12:59 | To: CF-Talk | Subject: RE: Need assistance:Nested CFLOOPs | | | I just skimmed through it, and it seemed that your query output is not | right. | | When u do a judgement.defendant inside that query loop, it will always | remain the same. it will always output the first row from that query. | instead, just use defendant. since you're already inside that query loop, | it will refer to the query name. there is no need to specify it | | | | | -Original Message- | From: Angél Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2001 9:39 AM | To: CF-Talk | Subject: Need assistance:Nested CFLOOPs | | | Hi all. | | I am having a problem with a nested CFLOOP refusing to loop! | | The Code: | cfloop query="judgement" startrow="1" endrow="20" | CFSET CompanyList = "Limited,LTD,LTD.,CO,Co.,Company,,The" | cfloop index="counter" list="#CompanyList#" delimiters="," | CFOUTPUT The Defendant | IS:#judgement.defendant#/cfoutput | br | CFSET | WordToGet=ListGetAt(#CompanyList#,#counter#,",") | CFOUTPUT The Current List Item | Is:#WordToGet#/cfoutput | br | CFIF Find(judgement.defendant,#Counter#) neq 0 | | CFOUTPUT Hey!

Re: Finding the CF Administrator password - Also attn: Uwe
OK .. 1 more time for those who might have missunderstood =-p I DO NOT want to disable the password. I don't care about getting into the CF Administrator. I need to know what the password is because it is the same password that I need to use to get into something else. The person who set up the password is no longer here, so I doubt I have any way of getting it unless I can find it some place. I know the password in the CF Admin is the same one that I need and that's why I'm interested in it. Unfortunately, when viewed from the registry, it's encrypted. I was hoping someone would know how to decrypt it, or knew a handy tag / tool for doing such. Uwe mentioned back in December that someone had given him such a tag, so that's why I thought someone else might know. Thanks all, Todd Ashworth -- P.S. Uwe ..

Re: Allarie/Macromedia ColdFusion Feature Suggestion
Basically, it's an iframe that has a style sheet associated with it that
makes it invisible. Netscape doesn't support iframe, so you are limited
in your audience, but if you are developing for a controlled environment in
which everyone uses I.E., it works pretty well.
!-- style sheet --
#ifrmSubmitForm { position: absolute; top: 400; left: 5; visibility:
hidden }
!-- IRAME --
IFRAME id="ifrmSubmitForm" name="ifrmSubmitForm" src=""/IFRAME
I've never tried it with any other type of frames, so you *might* be able to
get Netscape to support it as well, with a little experimenting.

Re: Hidden frames
I don't use them in my 'every day' applications, but I have used them in the past to simulate the 'instant feedback' that non web based applications enjoy. In one application we had a large form that was split up over several tabbed layers. Whenever someone moved to a new tab, the database was immediately, and transparently updated ... much like Access does when you switch to the next record in the database. It was cumbersome to program, but it was pretty slick once we got it 1/2 way working. I've also used them for server side form validation to simulate javascript error checking.
