 Well, hadn't used this widget, so I put together a minimal fusebox5.5 and

 I'd need to see some code, or just guessing from here on.
 I'd suggest you find the simplest setup that'll reproduce the issue and 
 share it on the list.

 Peter Robertson


This fusebox version is really, really old, probably version 3.  I just 
tried a simple internal pagelink on another simpler page without the jQuery 
and it suffered from the same problem.  Funny but I never had a reason to 
use an internal page link in this app before.

So, I'm just going to launch a new window and run the jQuery wizard in 
that, or rewrite the js file to avoid the use of href

 A/B Testing with Squabble

 by Mark Mandel

 You have two designs, one with a blue button, and one with a red
 button, and you think that both designs could work on your a feature
 of your application. The problem is, how do you know which one is
 actually better? Which design is going to convert more users into
 giving you their hard earned dollars through your application?

 The fact of the matter is, you don't actually know. You can only make
 a guestimate based on your experience as a web application developer,
 and hope for the best.  Unfortunately, real users can be a fickle
 bunch that do unpredictable things, and it can be very hard to track
 what the overall effect of all these changes to a site can make.

 Squabble is a server side A/B testing framework for ColdFusion that
 allows you to test multiple variations of site design and/or
 functionality against your real users, in real time, and quantify the
 results into statistics that can actually prove which combination of
 variations results in your application getting more of the conversions
 that you require. This gives you amazing freedom in being able to try
 out new things on established sites, as you are able to track what
 changes actually effect the behaviour of your real users, and then
 continually improve upon them.

 Mark Mandel is a full time consultant and lead developer on several
 open source projects, most notably ColdSpring, JavaLoader, Transfer
 ORM and ColdDoc and has been has been working with ColdFusion for a
 number of years, including at his very own dot com back in the late
 90's.

 Mark can often be found blogging at www.compoundtheory.com, which has
 housed his thoughts on ColdFusion, Java and various aspects of
 software development for several years.  He can also be found as a
 regular poster on ColdFusion mailing lists, causing havoc in the
 #coldfusion channel on Dalnet irc network and podcasting on www.2ddu.com.

 When he's not too busy writing open source software and consulting he
 enjoys spending his extra time training martial arts in a wide variety
 of disciplines and reading way too much fantasy literature.

Stephen, I haven't seen anyone suggest this yet: are you using a tool like
Firebug, Fiddler, or Charles? Such tools can show the communications back
and forth from your browser to the server. It could be that it's trying to
access a file that it doesn't find. Such tools can identify such errors,
which the browser (and your JS code) might otherwise hide or ignore. It
could also be finding a wrong version, though that's of course harder to
tell, but at at least the tools 

I list tools like the above in a category of my CF411 site, specifically at
http://www.cf411.com/proxy. Note that I list also how more modern browsers
now have such tools built-in, so not even something you have to add, if
that's a concern.

Let us know if such tools may help you.

 Subject: [cfaussie] jQuery SmartWizard 2
 
 I am trying to fit a jQuery SmartWizard 2 onto a fusebox coldfusion page.
 
 https://github.com/mstratman/jQuery-Smart-Wizard
 
 This wizard is a tab interface with validation so that you cannot move to
the
 second tab without completimng the first correctly.
 
 It was working perfectly in plain old HTML, even a plain cfm page, but
when I
 moved it onto Fusebox the next and tab buttons started doing strange
things.
 
 The tabs are just LI tags that look like this
 
  ullia href=#step-1Personal details/a/li
   lia href=#step-2Further details/a/li
 
 The problem is that in fusebox a click on a tab takes you straight to the
domain
 home page, eg the wizard might be on
 http://www.mydomain.com/applications/userdetails.cfm
 but when I click a tab I go to http://www.mydomain.com/#step-2  ie back to
the
 main page of the website
 
 Anyone here using jQuery in Fusebox?

allows you to test multiple variations of site design and/or
functionality against your real users, in real time, and quantify the
results into statistics that can actually prove which combination of
variations results in your application getting more of the conversions
that you require. This gives you amazing freedom in being able to try
out new things on established sites, as you are able to track what
changes actually effect the behaviour of your real users, and then
continually improve upon them.

Mark Mandel is a full time consultant and lead developer on several
open source projects, most notably ColdSpring, JavaLoader, Transfer
ORM and ColdDoc and has been has been working with ColdFusion for a
number of years, including at his very own dot com back in the late
90's.

Mark can often be found blogging at www.compoundtheory.com, which has
housed his thoughts on ColdFusion, Java and various aspects of
software development for several years.  He can also be found as a
regular poster on ColdFusion mailing lists, causing havoc in the
#coldfusion channel on Dalnet irc network and podcasting on www.2ddu.com.

When he's not too busy writing open source software and consulting he
enjoys spending his extra time training martial arts in a wide variety
of disciplines and reading way too much fantasy literature.
