Thank you for your efforts Dave. I found the issue. Maybe it'll shed some
light for someone else:
The Tab applet would fire the related javascript function when the applet
loaded to make sure the default tab was selected. What I didn't know was
that the function could return false to indicate
Hey gang.
Working on a little side project, that is very JS-heavy - do some reads from
a DB, create and populate several Javascript arrays based on the DB queries
(using CFLOOP, generally), so that the page, once loaded, doesn't need to go
back to the server for more data.

First of all your ORDER BY should probably start with title, since that is
what you group by in your output. If you don't you will likely output the
same title more than once by accident.
Other than that you should be fine. A query row will NEVER inherit data
from another query row.
No, I can't order by title, I must order by date. This is a list of news
releases and public notices ordered by date, descending.
However, even if I do order by title the same trouble happens. This is the
page ordered by date, I did order by title after your message and the
trouble still
You should be grouping by reldate *IF* reldate is a date and no time.

My question is: Why is the custom tag executing? Shouldn't the page stop

However, if I place the CFABORT above the custom tag call, but *outside*
I will check into the genericness of the fields. Could be that is causing

Yep, that's a rough one. I can tell you that the engineering team did
not just write it off, they agonized over this one. This was not swept
under the carpet at all, it was a tough decision, and while you use the
feature most CFers in fact don't, something had to give. I'll forward

Yes we use it everywhere. We generally use a shared host that provides
one DSN per site. It's been nice to set up several databases on a site

Aside from losing that feature, it's a lot of queries to change.

Not sure what that second sentence means exactly. My understanding of how

Didn't FreeBSD sell out to Sun to get a native J2EE implementation? I

Two small changes will make this work in NS4/NS6/Moz much nicer,

You can use the cfheader tag to do a server-side redirect just like
