CFGrid and CSS collisions.
Is there a way you can wrap a cfgrid or protect it from getting it's css overridden? I'm working on reskinning a legacy application and we're trying to minimize the impact of this new design that has essentially hosed everything. ~| 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:359926 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: Best way to use LESS CSS with CF?
I'm just now looking seriously into LESS and its usage.
So far, I've really only looked at its use of variables.
As far as variables are concerned, I don't see much difference
between using variables and classes.
I can define, say, a class this way in CSS:
.titleColor { color: blue }
and use it this way: p class=titleColor
or define this way with LESS:
@titleColor { color: blue }
.titleColor { color: @titleColor }
and use it this way: p class=titleColor
Seems like LESS is more in this case and of
insignificant benefit.
Am I missing the point and best use of variables?
Thanks for the feedback!

Re: Best way to use LESS CSS with CF?
Variables are on small advantage. It's nice to be able to set a variable
for a color, for instance, and reuse it in several hundred locations, in
a variety of scenarios, without having to apply a separate class to
thousands of lines of code throughout an application. If the color
changes, the variable changes, it updates all of the other style
declarations automatically, BAM!
Mixins are where the power truly shines through. The ability to write
little functions, to dynamically create declarations based upon
variables and conditions. That's very powerful.

RE: Best way to use LESS CSS with CF?
Thanks, Cutter...
I read the article you referenced and it did clarify some things,
but, being an overview of many different approaches and frameworks
to utilizing CSS, it opened up a large can of worms!
I'm going to check out the BEM approach, first, just as a starting point.
Re: your comments
Variables seem to be the same as a class, to me. I can set a variable
in one place in LESS and change the CSS by changing the variable. But
the exact same effect seems to take place if I create a class, assign
it to elements, then change the class. In that limited usage, a variable
seems no different than a class. One change, many affected elements.
I'll have to study more to understand your comment about
variables and conditions, especially the conditions part. I don't
think I've read about conditions, yet.
But one question I need clarification concerning: if I don't use LESS,
and work with a naming convention, such as BEM, can a pre-processor
still be used with that to compile several stylesheets into a single
stylesheet? Or do pre-processors work with only certains frameworks,
like LESS or SASS?

LESS (and SASS/SCSS) are common, widely used CSS preprocessors. Frameworks like Bootstrap come with LESS files. I could also write my own database use XML files and CF's XML/struct/array capabilities, but that would be quite ridiculous.

Re: Best way to use LESS CSS with CF?
t why rewrite the wheel when documented frameworks already exist Learning another language to do what can be done as easily by the language I've been using for years looks like reinventing the wheel to me. That's the advantage of Less (and SASS too for that matter) - you dont learn any new syntax. It uses CSS syntax to do nearly everything. I was thinking about how I could write my own preprocessor because I have a CMS that i customise by changing colours mostly, and i was thinking about how I could have a settings table or something and use CFFILE to output a stylesheet when I heard about LESS and to my delight - there it was! The very thing I was planning to write, was already written!And it took me about 10 minutes to learn what I needed to learn to use it.

Zero budget, student-friendly CF/HTML/CSS editor?
I teach web design, web programming (JavaScript, some JS libraries, SQL, and CF), and computer science at a public high school that has zero budget for software for my classes. We have a license for Homesite, but it doesn't play well with our environment and is no longer worth the hassle. I've tried Aptana, but feel that it's too complex for teaching beginners web design. What's more, I really don't like the requirement that Eclipse-based editors have for working in a project paradigm on web files. I use Netbeans for CompSci, which IS project-oriented, but that makes a lot more sense given the language. So, what are the free (as in, free) options out there that support HTML/CSS/JS/CF that are at least reasonably user-friendly?

Re: Zero budget, student-friendly CF/HTML/CSS editor?
I taught an introduction to Web Programming college course for several years using CFEclipse with Adobe ColdFusion. In the very first class I gave them a good overview of using Eclipse on an overhead projector. I walked them through the project creation process and showed them where their files ended up on their local machines. I don't recall any incidents where students had difficulty using the editor. The main problems I had were students simply not understanding how to implement programming concepts in a practical way and students not finishing the projects that they started. Is CF going to be it's own course or are you mixing in CSS, JS, and SQL in with it? In my class I taught simple SQL and CF, and it was hard to squeeze everything in to a single quarter.

Re: SOT: Graphic Artist Software for HTML CSS
Photoshop is very powerful for all aspects of image creation and manipulation, but there is absolutely nothing intuitive about the interface. It was the hardest software for me to learn in all my years in the industry. Fortunately, I have a son who is a PS expert, so I can call him when I get in over my head. Fireworks is much easier to learn and use and works well for web stuff.

Re: CSS Conditionals Question
I am aware of one technique that internet explorer employs in order to achieve something like what you are looking for, but this doesn't help you for other browsers. You alsmost have to have some logic and then include different css files if you really want something extravagant. Check out this blog, rule #2: http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/css-specific-for-internet-explorer - *IE8 or below*: to write CSS rules specificially to IE8 or below, add a backslash and 9 (\9) at the end before the semicolon. - *IE7 or below*: add an asterisk (*) before the CSS property. - *IE6*: add an underscore (_) before the property.

I've been avoiding hacks if possible myself. Microsoft tends to break
them with each new release. I've started using a conditional in the body
of my files. It's been working rather well...
!--[if IE] div id=IEroot ![endif]--
p id=myParaStyleEverything goes here/p
!--[if IE] /div ![endif]--
In my CSS
#myParaStyle { ... stuff for most }
#IEroot #myParaStyle { ...stuff just for IE }

The datefield type is applying floats to the elements it creates, 'removing' them from their containers.

Re: cfinput type=datefield won't follow my CSS rules
Ok, I got it to work but not the way I really want to do it... Under my LI, I used a table with cell, spacing and borders set to 0, put the label in the first td and the div containing the cfinput type datafield inside the second td then closed it all. Turns out just like I wanted, all be it messy lol. Now the problem I am having is in IE7; the calendar is popping under the field below it. From what I am reading, this is a z-index issue and I have to set a z-index on each of my fields or something (not entirely sure how to do it...). Anyone have any idea on this one? It is only in IE; IE8, Safari and Firefox work fine. Image of working form: http://postimage.org/image/1m31h6rqc/ Image of calendar bleed problem in IE7: http://postimage.org/image/1m34s9gpw/ Thanks!

Pretty Close. You only need to double the ## symbols, if the content is
INSIDE a cfoutput block. As you start the cfoutpout block on the
next line, you do not need to double ## where you have them.

cfcontent type=text/css; charset=UTF-8 /
cfinclude template = bigPhoto_ThomasHill.css.cfm
(The site-specific css variables are stored in the
bigPhoto_ThomasHill.css.cfm file)
cfoutput
body { background: ##000 url('../styleGraphics/##initialBigPhoto##')
no-repeat center top fixed; }
etc...
/cfoutput
The css rules aren't being recognized and, therefore, no style applied.
I tried doing this without the cfinclude, but that didn't help.
What am I missing?

Nah. Just use .cfm and cfcontent to set the type of the .cfm to .css

then you can actually call the .cfm where you'd usually call your .css

Report Builder on CF9 with CSS questions
1. I am unable to get the CSS export link to produce an output file. Has anyone been able to get this function working? 2. Does the CSS style override function actually work? I am trying to override the margins on a text field but this CSS function is not changing anything. 3. The importing of Image files in the report does not work. An image object will not render in the report unless I copy the image and DROP it on the report layout in CF Report builder. The image is therefore embedded in the CFR file. ~| 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:343442 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

ColdFusion 9 CSS Reset Warning
Hi All,
I just upgraded one my old sites to CF9 and was surprised all of a sudden to
see some changes in formatting on some pages but not others. IE; strong tags
not bolding, h1's looking different than previously and other issues as
well. After some investigating I found the issue, apparently CF9's ext
framework has a built in CSS reset.
See the code below.
File: CFIDE/scripts/ajax/resources/ext/css/ext-all.css
html,body,div,dl,dt,dd,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,form,fieldset,input,p,blockquot
e,th,td{margin:0;padding:0;}
img,body,html{border:0;}
address,caption,cite,code,dfn,em,strong,th,var{font-style:normal;font-weight
:normal;}
//ol,ul {list-style:none;}
caption,th {text-align:left;}
//h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{font-size:100%;}
q:before,q:after{content:'';}
I know, this is something that I should have probably been doing already and
strong tags are deprecated, but still. If I wanted to do a css reset, I
would do a css reset and wouldn't expect a ColdFusion upgrade to do it for
me.
Note: to make it more odd, this only effects pages that are using ColdFusion
tags that use the ext framework like cfgrid, cfwindow, cftooltip ect.

RE: ColdFusion 9 CSS Reset Warning
Ah, ok. I Googled it and didn't find much. Maybe I just didn't search the
correct thing. Anyway, I fixed it by just going into the file on the server
and commenting out the reset. Don't know if that was the correct thing to do
or not, but it fixed it for me and my ajax tags seem to be ok.

Re: CSS editor for eclipse galileo?
I recently installed the Amateras plug-in on the recommendation of someone on the list. (Jim?) It's doing a great job with CSS, JS, and JSP editing. I think it handles XML, too, but I don't do XML, so I'm not sure about that. I tried Aptana, too, but it was wy to pushy. I don't even know that Amateras is there, except for the functions it provides. Highly recommended. Rick On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 7:34 PM, Mark Mandel mark.man...@gmail.com wrote: Web Tools Project?

css and cfdocument...grrr
Ok, I know cfdocument is finicky about the html it tries to render into a pdf. I have a template I'm putting together and it validates xhtml transitional, it uses both @import and link to include the stylesheet (just in case), I use a standard Yahoo supplied reset css file and the resulting html renders identically in Firefox, IE 7 and Chrome. So, several things don't actually render correctly at all in the resulting pdf. Things like background colors bleeding over into other elements, background colors not showing up at all on a div whose only content are other divs, etc. Where are the best places to look for tips on making it behave? And are there good troubleshooting guides for things to pay attention to/avoid? I'm ok with a little black magic but this is getting irritating as there is no obvious place to correct these problems.

RE: css and cfdocument...grrr
This is pretty old but it might be helpful. http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2006/2/16/cfdocument.performance The main thing to realize is that converting HTML to PDF is really a trick - going from a fluid medium to a very staticky and specific medium. Unless your HTML is already pretty lean and minimal you may need a different layout wrapper. Also check to see if your CSS is even making it into cfdocument. Remember that if you use something like: link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=/css/mystylesheet.css media=screen / In your cfdocument, CF has to retrieve that resource to include it into the doc. Under the hood it makes a cfhttp call right? The server has to resolve the domain into the proper IP etc. So a lot of things might have to go right for that to work. -Mark Mark A.

The CSS file is definitely being included, so that's good. And I haven't tried to do anything with images yet, thankfully. Perhaps I need to move to a fixed-width layout using inches as units instead of percentages. Or maybe tables. Blech. Thanks for that link though, I haven't looked at that one in quite awhile.

And are there good troubleshooting guides for things to pay attention to/avoid? I'm ok with a little black magic but this is getting irritating as there is no obvious place to correct these problems.
