Re: Hosting CF 8
I've used Crystal Tech for years, and I've never had a problem with their service. I've got about 15 client's sites running on Crystal Tech, and they're all happy as well. I really like their Control Center as it's easy for me to manage everything, I can even create accounts for my clients and give them access to what I want them to have. And all of my clients absolutely love the statistics reporting package (SmarterStats) that comes with the hosting. I had one client that had 21 domains pointing to the same site with no problem, but we never needed Domain level FTP accounts so I can't comment on that. We also didn't need email for each domain, but I know we had the ability to do it if we wanted. They have a nice webmail interface that lets you configure individual or domain wide Spam settings, Greylisting, and Trusted Sender's lists. I manage all of my SQL Server databases via Enterprise manager and Query Analyzer for SQL 2000, and DBA Studio for 2005. If I have one complaint with Crystal Tech, it's that just starting with CF 8 you have to go with their $26.95 plan to get SQL Server. I have several clients on the $16.95 plan with CF 7 and SQL Server that are going to have to start paying an extra $10 per month so they can move to CF 8. It's really no big deal, just a bummer that they're taking away this previous functionality. Hope this helps!

Re: CFStoredProc out variable
CF returns the value of the OUT variable as a regular variable, just like you created it with cfset for example. Try this: #queryResult # You'll notice that I removed the "@" from your variable name. You can name the OUT variable whatever you want, regardless of what it's called in the database.

Re: New 64-bit Dev Server
Exchange, SQL, and CF on the same box? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen! Here are a few things that jumped into my head when I read your post: What happens when you're debugging code that keeps crashing the server, and you have to reboot a dozen times a day (from an Exchange perspective)? What happens when the latest patch for SQL Server isn't compatible with Exchange (why would it be?), and it kills your email server? SQL Server will eat as much memory as it can get its hands on, how will that affect your Exchange server? How much memory/hard drive space are you going to have to have to support a dev. appication server, dev. database server, and production (I assume) email server? Personally, I would keep Exchange off of the box. The CF/SQL setup wouldn't be too bad, but there's no way I would load a production email server on to the same box. That's just my $.02, though.

Re: New 64-bit Dev Server
That's a good point, I didn't think about virtualization. Also, I guess it would depend a lot on the specific situation. Are we talking about a small office with 10 email users, 1 web app. and 1 database? In that case, the one server setup may work just fine. But, if there are numerous Exchange users, several web apps. (or 1 really big one), and multiple databases, then I would still try to split it up some way.

Re: CFC Not acting like I expect
You're trying to return propID, but you don't reference it anywhere in your Stored Procedure. The only time you reference it is with . This is just setting a variable, it's not a query, which is what your function is expecting as a return type.

Re: blocking spambots
The easiest thing I've found is to just use a Flash/Flex form. While I
realize this may not be ideal for all situations, I've had much success
with it. I had a simple contact form on my website that was getting 3-5
Spam submissions per day. I put up a Flash form, and that stopped 100%
of the Spam.
After reading all of the other replies to this post, I can't help but
wonder, is there something I'm missing? Is there some reason no one is
using a Flash/Flex form solution?
Thanks,
Eric

CF 7 Certification Exam
I'm wanting to take the CF 7 Certification exam. I wasn't able to find any reference to the CF 7 exam on Adobe's website, only CF 8. However, when I log in to the VUE website to see what exams are available, they have both the CF 7 and CF 8 exams listed. Whenever I try to schedule the CF 7 exam, it tells me the exam is not available, but I don't have any problem when I try to schedule the CF 8 exam. So, obviously VUE is not offering the CF 7 exam anymore (at least in my area), even though it's still listed on their site. After Ray Camden's recent post about the CF 8 exam (http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2008/6/3/Open-Letter-to-Adobe-on-Certification), I'm really not interested in taking it at this time, I'd rather take CF 7, if for no other reason than my own personal satisfaction. My question is, is this the official word from Adobe and no one is offering CF 7 anymore, or is there a chance I can still take the CF 7 Certification exam somewhere? Thanks!

Re: help w/ DateDiff() please
Is "dte_2dlcl" a column in the database? You can't execute a ColdFusion
function on a database column in a query.

Re: help w/ DateDiff() please
Wait, I'm confused, are you trying to use the CF dateDiff() function, or
a database's dateDiff() function? If you're using a database's, then I
think you need to wrap #today# in quotes.

Re: Is Coldfusion losing it biggest asset?
Here's another viewpoint to throw into the pile. Just because MORE businesses aren't using ColdFusion, doesn't mean that businesses aren't using MORE ColdFusion. The product can continue to grow without adding new customers. At my last job, when I started working there we had 4 CF developers and 3 CF 7 production servers. A little over a year later we had the same 4 CF developers, but 15 CF 8 production servers. Adobe got to sell 12 more CF8 licenses, plus the 3 original upgrades, and there was not 1 new developer or new customer added to their list. They got to see roughly 5x the revenue from one customer, with no marketing or promotional expense (to us) on their end. Not a bad deal for Adobe, eh? I wish my customers would do that. :) Thanks, Eric Cobb ECAR Technologies, LLC http://www.ecartech.com http://www.cfgears.com On 1/13/2011 8:27 PM, Michael Grant wrote: >> You really believe they're not "grow[ing] the product" with all of those >> advances and investment and effort?? >> > I know for me the issue isn't that they aren't growing the product.

Re: Is Coldfusion losing it biggest asset?
Me too. There's a company here in Nashville that has 30+ CF developers, and that's what they do. Their job ads are for web developers with any CF/Java/PHP/.Net/Ruby/ect... experience, and they state that they use CF and the candidate must be willing to become a CF programmer. It seems to be working pretty well for them.

Should I build my app as an API?
I'm getting ready to start working on what I hope is to become a pretty large side project. Right now I'm in the planning phases, and one of the (eventual) plans is to have a full API that others can use to interact with the site. When thinking about this, I came up with an idea that I wanted to run by you guys to get some opinions. Instead of taking the usual approach of building the site like I want then adding an API to it, what if I were to just build out the API first, then build my site off of that API? Has anyone ever done this, or have any ideas on this? I'm really hoping to get a good discussion going on this, so please let me know what you think! -- Thanks, Eric Cobb ECAR Technologies, LLC http://www.ecartech.com http://www.cfgears.com ~| 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:341623 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Thanks Michael, those were my initial thoughts on this as well. I'm glad to see someone else is doing it successfully. Just out of curiosity, are you doing this with any high traffic sites?

Re: Feedback on this approach to "many sites, one codebase" (MSOC)
One thing you may want to take into consideration, if you plan on having many sites run through this codebase, is NOT giving each site a unique application name. (as in ). I once worked on a MSOC system that ran somewhere around 2700 websites, and each site had its own application name. So, every time we cached a CFC in the application scope, we had 2700 separate instances of it, even though they were all identical. We had 2700 "application.dsn" variables stored in memory, even though they were all identical. We had multiple CF servers each trying to store and manage the same 2700 separate applications, all of which were completely identical. And the worst part was, there was no passing "?reinit=1" if we made code changes and needed to reset the application scope, we had to restart each CF server and take all 2700 sites offline in order to reset all of the applications. To me, this always seemed inefficient, and a gross waste of CF processes and memory. Just some thoughts I wanted to throw out there. Definitely something to think about if you're planning on having a large number of sites on your system.

You can make up whatever entries you want in your hosts file, and it will work on your local machine. 127.0.0.1test1.loc 127.0.0.1test2.loc 127.0.0.1test3.loc 127.0.0.1yo.mama 127.0.0.1my.mama 127.0.0.1free.beer Whatever you want.

Re: I think I'm confused...
You may be able to take it a step further and on your Development Server just have the IIS "default website" point to your MSOC site. Then, you won't need to fool with any IIS entries, just add whatever urls you want to your local hosts file and have the IP address point to your Dev Server. When the Dev Server gets the request, it will just hand it to the default site without worrying about what url is.

Suggestions for building a web service
I've been tasked with building a very simple web service into our existing application. Basically, we have another department here that needs to know if a user is set up in our application before they set that user up in their application, so they need a way to hand us a username and we verify if that user exists. In my particular situation, complete SES urls (site.com/user/validate/123) are not an option, although I can do this: site.com/index.cfm/user/validate/123 . I was thinking of just having index.cfm parse the query string and use that to determine which CFC and method to call, then return the XML. (i.e.: call the Validate method in the User CFC and pass in the ID 123) Also, at this point, using a framework is not an option. I already know that once I have this first one up and running, there will be two more they want built that will have almost the exact same functionality (see if a user is valid, see if a customer is valid, see if an account number is valid). In all of these situations, these calls will be GET only, so they give us an ID and we tell them true/false if the record exists. So, my urls for these would be something like: site.com/index.cfm/user/validate/123 site.com/index.cfm/customer/validate/456 site.com/index.cfm/account/validate/789 What would be the best way to go about this? Am I on the right track or heading down the wrong path? I've see a lot of info out there about using web services and APIs, but not a whole lot on actually creating them in CF. I've read a couple of posts on Ben Nadel's blog, and gone through some of Simon Free's presentations, but that's about it. As I'm just getting ready to start building this thing, I want to make sure I have it laid out correctly. I'd appreciate any advice before I start coding. -- Thanks, Eric Cobb ECAR Technologies, LLC http://www.ecartech.com http://www.cfgears.com ~| 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:342642 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Persisting query data across cflocation
Given the following scenario, what would be the best way to persist the data across the cflocation call? I have page A, which includes page B, which does a cflocation to page C. Query results returned in page A need to be available in page C. Since we're doing a cflocation, which starts a new request, storing the query results in the request scope doesn't work, and a query result set can't be passed as a url variable in the cflocation tag. Is storing the query results in the session scope on page A, then retrieving it on page C my best option? Either that or calling the query on both page A and page C? I was really hoping there was an easier way (like storing it in the request scope!), but I can't seem to figure it out. -- Thanks, Eric Cobb http://www.cfgears.com Help me make a difference this summer.http://bit.ly/i8dJvQ ~| 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:343225 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Is saving a query in the session passed by reference or by value?
I know that complex data types (structs, CFCs, queries, COM/JavaObjects, etc...) are passed by reference, not by value. But I'm wondering how that works when storing them in the session scope. For example, let's say I have a query that returns a really large result set, and after that query runs I store the query results as a variable in the session scope. select* FROMbigTable Would the above code just create a reference to the result set already in memory, or would it actually create a copy of the results in the session? In a similar scenario, what would happen if I had a CFC object stored in the session, then passed my query results to it to be stored in that CFCs "variables" scope? select* FROMbigTable -- Thanks, Eric Cobb http://www.cfgears.com Help me make a difference this summer. http://bit.ly/i8dJvQ ~| 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:343252 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: scoping
That's kinda backwards If you don't specify a scope in your cfset statement, then CF will always put it in the VARIABLES scope. But, if you don't specify a scope when calling the variable (in your cfoutput), then CF will have to hunt down the variable to determine which scope it's in. http://www.cfgears.com/index.cfm/2010/9/22/The-importance-of-proper-variable-scoping Thanks, Eric Cobb ECAR Technologies, LLC http://www.ecartech.com http://www.cfgears.com On 5/19/2011 2:55 AM, Dominic Watson wrote: > Curiously, I do it the exact opposite way: > > > > #myVariable# > > However, I should probably scope both. > > Dominic > > On 18 May 2011 19:26, Aaron Rouse wrote: >> This is my outlook although I do not do something like: >> >> >> >> instead I do: >> >> >> >> But I always would do: >> >> #Variables.strBlah# >> >> or >> >> >> >> Seems to me that is what the original OP is asking about but perhaps I am >> reading too much into it based upon what I do.

Re: scoping
VARIABLES is implied when setting a variable, not when calling one. CF will always go into search mode if you call a variable without a scope. In CF 8 it will search 3 other scopes before looking at the VARIABLES scope, and in CF 9 it will search 5 scopes before looking at VARIABLES.

I've got a strange problem here that I need some help figuring out. We have a site running on 8 load balanced CF 9 servers. We're doing a lot of stuff with Client Variables, and all of our code works fine in development/staging, but in production none of the client variables persist. After digging in to it, I find that we're getting a new CFID/CFTOKEN on every page request, which explains why the variables don't persist from page to page. My question is, could this be a problem at the load balancer? If sticky sessions were not enabled or configured correctly, wouldn't it cause this? My gut tells me "yes", but I wanted to see if any of you have run into this. Thanks!

Re: Problem with Client Variables not persisting.
Thanks Pete, Our host said they are having problems with the load balancer, so it looks like that's the problem. I was thinking about putting something out there to identify which server I was hitting. I'll probably put some type of small flag in a comment on the pages so I can just view source any time and know which server I'm on. From: "Pete Freitag" Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2011 9:34 AM To: "cf-talk" Subject: Re: Problem with Client Variables not persisting. Hi Eric, Yes if sticky sessions were not working or configured properly on your load balancer that would certainly cause you to get new CFID/CFTOKEN on each request. As of the ColdFusion security patch for session fixation (APSB11-04) if the CFID/CFTOKEN values do not correspond to a valid session on the server it will return new ones. In prior versions of CF it would just create a new session with the CFID/CFTOKEN values that were sent. The problem with that is that your session id's can last a long long time. You can actually disable the session fixation patch by adding a JVM argument: Dcoldfusion.session.protectfixation=false but I'm not sure that you want to, first I'd double check that your load balancer has sticky sessions setup properly. One way you could validate that would be to create a page that returned something unique to each server in the cluster (eg it's IP address, or CF serial number) then hit that page, if it keeps changing then you are hitting different servers. -- Pete Freitag - Adobe Community Professional http://foundeo.com/ - ColdFusion Consulting & Products http://petefreitag.com/ - My Blog http://hackmycf.com - Is your ColdFusion Server Secure?

API Question
I'm creating an API (if you can call it that) for one of our applications. It's nothing big or fancy, actually just 1 cfc with 1 method in it that's going to be a front-facing component for AJAX calls to hit. All it's going to do is take an ID, call our main cfc to do some processing, then return the results. My question is, is it better to have my API cfc just extend the main component, or should create the connection to the main component in the API cfc? What is the "standard" or preferred method for doing this?

Resetting cached components
I've got a hypothetical situation that entered into me little brain this morning that I thought I'd ping the group on for answers. Let's say I've got an object cached in the application scope. The call to this CFC is used throughout the site, which gets a lot of traffic. Everything inside the CFC is var scoped, and it's completely encapsulated. It's just runs a query, sets some variables, and returns the results. What would happen if I were to "reset" the cache (by re-running cfset application.myCfc = new com.blah) while someone was using that cached call? There's enough traffic on the site that it's almost certian that there will be users on it when I reset the cache. This cached cfc is used on every page, so it's almost certain that someone will be in the middle of doing something with it when it's reset. What will happen for that user when this happens?

(ot) Recover Data from External Hard Drive
So, this is way OT, but I'm hoping someone out there can give me some suggestions to help me figure this out. Here's my situation: I have a 500GB USB external hard drive on my home PC that I use to store pretty much everything. All of our pictures, financial documents, mp3s, code repositories, everything. I have the hard drive partitioned into 2 equal parts, and they are set up as the "F" and "G" drives on the PC. Last week, my 9 month old grabbed the cable and pulled the hard drive off of the desk. When I plugged the hard drive back in, I could no longer access any of the data on the drives. Windows is saying that the drives need to be formatted. I've tried it on 3 separate machines, and I get the same thing on each one. When I plug in the hard drive, Windows sees both the "F" and "G" partitions, but wants to format them every time I try to open them. I looked in disk manager and it shows each partition with the correct size, but it says that each one is 100% free and contains no data. It does this on Windows XP, Windows 2003, and Windows 7. I tried booting Knoppix to see if I could access it that way, but I can't even get Knoppix to see the USB hard drive, or if it does I don't know where to look. I used VirtualBox to boot an Ubuntu instance, but got the same results as Knoppix, either it doesn't see the USB hard drive, or if it does I don't know where to look. (now would probably be a good time to mention that I don't know squat about Linux). So, that's my predicament. Does anyone out there have any suggestions on what to try? I feel like that if I can get Knoppinx/Ubuntu to see the drive that may be my best bet, but I don't have a clue as to how to do it. (plan on doing some serious googling tonight). I appreciate any suggestions anyone may have.

Best thing for testing code?
We are wanting to put some type of testing system in place here at work. I know there's a ton of stuff out there, and I'm really at a loss as to where to start. I'm not sure if any of the TDD frameworks are what we're after or not. Our main concern right now is setting up something to help test our existing applications. Here's a scenario of something we would be wanting to test: We have an automated process that checks for new orders that came in from our website. This process takes an order and checks each of the items in that order to see if we have it in stock or need to check 3rd party vendors. If it needs to check the vendors, it begins going through a list of venders and hitting their APIs to see if they have the item. In certain cases we may want to skip vendor 1 and order directly from vendor 2, or always order from vendor 3 without even looking at the others. Once it finds the item it then instructs our system to place the order for the item with that vendor, and then it moves the order over to our accounting system. We're not just concerned with whether or not the CFCs work, we need to know that the correct vendor was selected for the correct item, the database records were updated with the correct values, we don't accidentally place the same order with 2 vendors, etc... All that to say, what would be a good testing system to use with something like that? I'm open to any and all suggestions, even if it's something we have to purchase.

Extending a Component vs. Passing an Object
I have a service CFC that calls my dao CFC a lot. Currently, I just pass in an object of the dao to the service's init() method and save it to the variables scope to be used throughout the service. But, I'm wondering if I would be better off having my service CFCs extend their dao's instead. Thoughts? Are there any benefits to extending a CFC instead of just passing it in as an object, or is passing an object better?

Re: Adding Salt and Password Hash to existing acocunts
I've been playing around lately with hashing via both SQL Server 2008 and
CF. The following should give you the same results in both:
SET @pwdHash = CONVERT(VARCHAR(40),HashBytes('SHA1', @pwd + @UUID),2)
My understanding is, SQL Server 2012 is the only version that currently
supports SHA512.

In the example it was a hardcoded string for the salt. 'mySalt'. you'd
just replace that with whatever you intend to use.
I haven't used SHA512 this way. I only did it the way I did so there was
an equivalent method in CF to generate the same hash.
You'd have to play around with generating SHA512 hashes in TSQL and make
sure you are also able to generate that same hash in CF (assuming you will
be doing your hashing in CF at all before sending to the database).
You can do as many iterations of the salt as you want I suppose. If I was
going to hash multiple times, I'd salt them all.

CF 9 Mulit-Sever only uses default site
I have a strange issue with my CF 9 Multi-Sever install running on Windows 2008 R2 and IIS 7. This is a new server and I set up CF 9.01 in multi-server mode on it yesterday. The install went fine, and I have my first instance up and running with no problem. I was able to successfully spin off 2 more instances from within the CF Admin. I have my sites set up in IIS, and I ran wsconfig to assign each site to a CF instance. I made absolutely sure that I selected the correct CF instance and the correct site in wsconfig. For whatever reason, all of my sites still use the default cfusion instance, regardless of what I've assigned to them in wsconfig.

Re: CF 9 Mulit-Sever only uses default site
Thanks Russ! I looked through everything you suggested, and I can't see anything wrong. Here's my wsconfig.properties file: 1=IIS,1,false,"" 1.srv=localhost,"cfusion" 1.cfmx=true, 2=IIS,2,false,"" 2.srv=localhost,"Test01" 2.cfmx=true, So it looks like my #2 site is pointing to the correct "Test01" CF instance. The CFM handlers in IIS are pointing to C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll for both of my sites. Is that correct, or should site #2 be pointing somewhere else? Something else that I noticed is, whenever I spin off a new CF instance none of the datasources seem to be carried over to the new instance. I have to add them manually.

Creating Indexes with ORM
I'm just starting to play around with CF 9's ORM some, and I love that I can have it automatically create tables for me.

I'm sure it's doable in ORM, since it's just Hibernate, and you can certainly do this in Hibernate. I'm not sure where you'd do it, exactly, though - my guess would be in the mapping file that gets created for each CFC. But first, you might try just creating an "index" attribute for your CFPROPERTY tag and see what happens. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3533301/creating-indexes-on-db-with-hiber nate-index-annotation Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsi ~| 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:350777 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Shift from a single developer team to a multiple developer team
A friend of mine originally asked this question on LinkedIn's ColdFusion Programmers group but didn't get much response, so I told him I would post it here to see what you guys thought. His original post can be seen here: http://bit.ly/4aJjes Here's his post: "I have been the primary developer on an application for a number of years and we have recently gotten the additional resources to bring on 3 more programmers. I am excited and terrified. We have a Visual Source Safe environment set up for file sharing management, but I am curious if anyone has made this transition and has any tips for how to head off issues down the road. The application is somewhat modular, but certainly not to an object oriented extent. I am no project manager and am fearful that without proper planning we are going to be stepping on each other's toes an awful lot.

Re: REReplace Statment Help
If you want it in one line, just combine them:
productPageName =
Replace(REReplace(FORM.pageName,"[.*+?^${}()|[\]/\\]","","All"),"
","-","All");
BTW, you don't the the #'s inside of a function unless the variable is
in quotes.

Re: Deleting contents within a folder
I agree with Barney just deleting the directory and recreating it. Having to get a list of everything in the directory and then loop through that list and delete each item one-by-one seems "dirty" to me. That being said, if you do want to go the list/loop/delete route, I would suggest using CF's java capabilities to do it. cfdirectory/cffile can kill a CF server if there are a lot of files or the files are large. I once tried the cfdirectory/cffile approach on a directory that contained a large amount of images (about 2 gigs worth) and it croaked. I changed it to use Java and it was able to do it.

'Tis a sad, sad day...jQuery kills FireFox but works great in IE!
Oh, the horror to see my beloved FireFox crash repeatedly when trying to
run some jQuery that works flawlessly in IE 8! (I thought it was
supposed to be the other way around!)
Seriously though, I do have a chunk of jQuery that I hope someone here
can help me with. Basically, I have a (large) table that has a list of
users with IDs of "newUsers" and "oldUsers". I have a checkbox that
displays/hides the "oldUsers". In IE everything works instantaneously.
But in FireFox when you first check the box it takes several seconds
to hide the "oldUsers". Then, when you uncheck the box to display the
"oldUsers" again, it changes the display instantly but then the browser
hangs and crashes every time.
Now, as I mentioned before this table is large, with somewhere around
500 rows. Is this too much for FF/jQuery to handle? I thought about
breaking it up between 2 separate "newUsers" and "oldUsers" divs and
just toggle the display accordingly, but I'd rather do it in one table
if I could.
Here's my jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
//table striping
$('table.stripe>tbody>tr:even').addClass("lite");
$('table.stripe>tbody>tr:odd').addClass("dark");
//Display/Hide new and old user tables rows.
$("#userFilter").click(function(){
// If checked
if ($("#userFilter").is(":checked")){
//hide all old users
$('table.stripe>tbody>tr:not(#newUsers)').hide();
}
else {
//show all old users
$('table.stripe>tbody>tr:not(#newUsers)').show();
}
});
});
Here's my table:
Old Test User
Stuff
Stuff
Stuff
Old Test User
Stuff
Stuff
Stuff
New Test User
Stuff
Stuff
Stuff
New Test User
Stuff
Stuff
Stuff
Any ideas as to why this would be killing FireFox? Is it just the way
FF handles processing the display/hide of so many table rows?

Re: 'Tis a sad, sad day...jQuery kills FireFox but works great in IE!
Yeah, after tinkering with it a little more I realized what I was trying
to do would be better with classes instead of IDs. I really didn't want
to have to deal with a unique ID for all 500 rows.
Anyway, here's my jQuery now:
$("#userFilter").click(function(){
// If checked
if ($("#userFilter").is(":checked")){
//hide all old users
$(".oldUsers").css("display","none");
}
else {
//show all old users
$(".oldUsers").css("display","table-row");
}
});
It works correctly in both FF and IE, although in FF there's still a
good bit of lag time from when you click the checkbox until it actually
hides the rows. I guess it's just the way FF is dealing with so many
table rows.

Re: IIS & ColdFusion Developer, best practices for setting up multiple sites
ColdFusion is not going to be your problem, IIS is. If you're talking about setting this up on a desktop OS, then IIS isn't going to let you do it. I know in XP (and pretty sure about Vista), IIS can only have 1 website. You can only have multiple sites in IIS on a server OS. There are hacks and specialty software you can use to get around this, but natively IIS isn't going to let you do it.
