Hi im trying to create an image gallery/scroller on my product information
page. All the image names are stored in a recordset but i want to be able to
automatically scroll through the images. i hvae tried using jQuery but i dont
like that all the images are displayed as the page is loading
Get jQuery to request more images, either as needed (user will wait to see
them) or in advance.
Either create the images you want to get in JS with CF.
script
jQuery stuff
var galleryImages = [image-1.jpg , image-2.jpg , image-3.jpg
, image-4.jpg];
/script
Or ask the server
JQuery is reading the images from the recordset fine but when the page is
loading, jQuery displays all the images along side each other image1.jpg
image2.jpgi mage2.jpg and the user can see these images. The client has come
back and says that he doesnt want the client seeing the images until
You don't have to set it up so the jQuery code loads all the images on page
load. Let them load the visible ones and then on page load tell it about the
others.
If you want a quick fix, two ways:
1. Add a class to all the non-visible ones then remove it on page load.
2. Add the code to

First, always use UTF-8,
With CF 5 forget it.
We think we have found the problem.
They are using jQuery which apparently change the charset to UTF-8.
There must be some settings to change this default behaviour and they
are looking for it.
Thanks.
it won't matter on cf5
The problem is when using Javascript files with text encoded in iso-8859
in it.
If they are included in UTF-8 HTML, they become uncompatible.
If one need to keep an application compatible for both CF 5 and CFMX, better
stick with ISO.
We recently experienced problems along these lines (not having to do
with jQuery, but getting the charset to stick). Notes to our team are
for UTF-8, but I suppose you could choose whatever character encoding
you need. I also found excellent information on a blog post by Ben
Nadel (link below) --

Actually, the source attribute of the cfpdf tag allows for you to just
