There's a full js API to the YouTube player. Ideally, you'd hook into that, listen for a FinishedPlaying event and then do as you wish. http://tinyurl.com/noptmw :p Dominic Thanks but it seems a mess to have this little thing available, I mean, doing all the implementation for it. more

It's a kludge, but if you know how long the video is, then remove the controls and have it start as the page opens. Use a meta redirect to redirect the page after so many seconds. sorry not an option, the control has to be there, for one thing, for the existing users...

Using the API would clearly be the *clean* option - but the problem is of course one of time. However, I can't see another way of doing this; i.e. detecting the end of a youtube video playing. I'd suggest you'd spend more time figuring out a hack than you would picking up the API. Dominic Yes,

I certainly wouldn't worry about redirecting them at the end of the video.. I have seen the said video and you are better off figuring out how to capture a browser close during the first 10 seconds if you plan on getting any of those people. Yes, you're right, the quality of the video

+1 @Dominic I gotta believe that working with a published and documented API is, by definition, the LEAST messy option out there. If YouTube gives you exactly what you need to get to where you want to be with a few lines of JS, I would recommend doing that! The word,mess is loose on

Re: ajax cfc not working for Access DB -- odd stuff

If the cfc is being hit, and with the right data, you can absolutely rule out the cfajaxproxy tag. Can we clarify that the data being returned from the method is the problem? Try posting a form directly to the cfc method, e.g. form method=post action=pathtocfc.cfc?method=fubar!--- I think that's

I've moved on to an open source cfml engine, don't know what caused the following odd behavior, that is, my cfajaxproxy tag no longer works for an inline data editing function (meaning, it does not do database update for a set of data) while the same code works for ms sql server 2005 express

Sound like what needs to be done can't be done or very inconvenient to be done at db end hence you need to run some cfm page from db end. Not sure if it's efficient, doable though. call sp_shellcmd, (look it up for sp for shell command), have some utility like wget, then, wget http://yourURL;
