The trick is to set all the margins and paddings yourself via CSS
At the top of your CSS do

And then setup your desired paddings and margins for all HTML tags.

You also might want to use the CreateODBCDate function (without the
time)...with the time part, you will have cases where...
if now() = 11/27/2006 09:46AM and F.filePostDate = 11/6/2006 00:00AM
#CreateODBCDateTime(Now())# = #DateAdd('D',21,F.filePostDate)#
will be FALSE
but...
#CreateODBCDate(Now())# = #DateAdd('D',21,F.filePostDate)#
will be TRUE
My guess is that you don't want to take the time into account...but then
I'm not sure exactly what you are doing.

Convert the email to it's ascii equivalent for the source. So instand of a b, or what have you, have #XXX; where XXX is the ascii number of the character.

RE: Hiding email addresses
Putting the address anywhere in the source code in it's original format is just making it easy for someone to read it. The best thing you can do for them is to put a form that submits to the email address rather than giving a mailto: link to the address. That way it is never seen. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Re: Framework or application to make form submissions easy
Hey Jeff, Plum http://www.productivityenhancement.com/plum will do all of this for you, but it uses a .NET app for the code generator. If you install and generate the code once, you can pretty much build any form you want using the custom tag library without using the code generator at all. All forms and components are composed of tag calls, and provide both client and server side validation. Client side validation uses qForms, but it is integrated seamlessly, and you use a tag attribute to specify validation types, etc. HTH, On 11/27/06, Jeff Gladnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm well versed in CFC's and OO, and just starting to look at frameworks (although i've used them with ajax stuff for quite a while).

Re: DNS Redundancy
Jordan, Sorry, I should have been more clear in my question. I have been using Crystal Tech to handle the DNS for sites I host with them. They provide me two DSN servers. In the most recent DDOS attack, both were affected. I would like to have more DSN servers - some provided by someone else - for additional redundancy, if it is feasible. For example, I have been looking into the service provided by no-ip.com for this. http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/secondary_dns_backup.html I don't know if other providers would be a better deal or offer better service because I have always had the host handle the DSN in the past.

RE: DNS Redundancy
If you're lucky enough to have a server with rackspace, I've never had a problem with their DNS servers which are highly redundant (as are the rest of their networks). I've also used the registrar's DNS servers with fairly good success. Some places (I believe it's register.com and networksolutions) have a retarded set up that might wipe out your dns record until their system's catch up, but other then that I don't remember having issues with them. You can also go to www.x-registrar.com and set up an account, and I believe you can host DNS even for domains registered elsewhere. It uses the godaddy technology under the hood, and I've never had a problem with their dns servers.

RE: ColdFusion and Microsoft Excel
The simple solution (but not the *best*): Create the Excel table using very simple HTML in a ColdFusion string buffer (CFSaveContent). Then save that file to a temporary file (CFFile to a file in a temp directory, possibly GetTempDirectory()). Use CFMailParam tag inside of CFMail to attach the File (FILE attribute). Make sure SPOOLING is NOT enabled. Send the email. Delete the temporary file. You have to make sure not to spool as you might delete the file before the email is sent. If you cannot control this, you can safe the file to a temp directory then just clear that directly periodically (say, every night or so). Does that help? ..

RE: ColdFusion and Microsoft Excel
How complex of an Excel file? Can the data be represented by a simple comma or tab delimitated CSV file? If so to would be pretty easy to build such a file in ColdFusion and mail it anywhere you like. For most people .csv is a native format to Excel, it would automatically open with that software. If you need a full blown .xls binary file, that is much more of a challenge. I've heard there is a custom tag that may help, but I've never used it. I've done COM object stuff with Excel and Word before, but that is difficult, requires the office software to run on the server and is vary fragile. This is a solution to be avoided if at all possible. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA - | 1 | | - Binary Soduko | | | - C code. C code run. Run code run.

Re: Framework or application to make form submissions easy
Jeff, There are a few projects, both in the wild and behind closed doors, that a lot of developers are working on now. The idea, generally, is that of scaffolding - a concept from ruby on rails. In CF, you can easily find this in Model-Glue Unity, or CFWheels, but there are a number of other developers hacking their own stuff. In fact, if I could only find 9 more hrs in a day, I could get you something by tomorrow :( -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ On 11/27/06, Jeff Gladnick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm well versed in CFC's and OO, and just starting to look at frameworks (although i've used them with ajax stuff for quite a while).

access individual instances of CF
I have 2 CF enterprise servers with 2 instances (so far) of CF on each physical server. I have set up separate virtual sites for each instance in Apache and have configured the loadbalancer to do health checks on each individual instance (through the virtual site). Everything works fine until I set up the instances in a cluster. Once that happens, the JRUN connection in apache gets a list of instances in the cluster from the instance that it connects to and from then on would use any of the 4 instances to server the request. This is a problem because if the CF service encounters an issue (as happened this morning when I was receiving 500 null errors on one of the instances) the JRUN connector is not smart enough to stop using that server, but my custom health check (done by the loadbalancer) would be. Is there a way to force the JRUN connector to use an individual instance while maintaining session replication? That's all I really want, for the request to be served by any of the instances (managed by the loadbalancer currently), except the instances that have failed my custom health check, while still having session replication, so that when people switch instances they do not lose their session. I know one way to do this would be to use the build in web server, but this is not recommended for production use, and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to set it up (Is there a way to change the web root?) Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Wait a minute, even the different lists Ian gave as examples in the original post don't match up --- In the letters one, the third to last and the last letter groups are both BCA.

RE: Challenging Loop problem.
The patterns is the same. The columns are changing in harmonic motion (so to speak). The other difference bewteen the two sets is that the first one starts C A A and the second one starts A C C. Once the first line is established, the patterns follows in a harmonic motion. The patterns seems to start with the second column. It counds UP or DOWN in the list until it cannot go any further. Then the NEXT column to the left starts to change (while the rest of the columns stay the same). It moves UP or DOWN (whatever direciton is OPPOSITE the dirction of the first active column) until it can no longer change (Max n-1 rows). Then the active column moves to the left once (or wraps to the last column) and repeats. I don't think the first row is important. I think the first row just dictates where in the pattern it starts. Take a look at the number example: 16 0 0 16 8 0 16 16 0 8 16 0 0 16 0 0 16 8 0 16 16 0 8 16 0 0 16 8 0 16 16 0 16 16 0 8 16 0 0 16 8 0 16 16 0 8 16 0 0 16 0 0 16 8 0 16 16 0 8 16 0 0 16 8 0 16 16 0 16 16 0 8 16 0 0 16 8 0 16 16 0 8 16 0 0 16 0 I have replaces the CHANGING columns with X and the staying the same columns with .. - - - .. x . .. x . x . . x . . .. . x .. . x .. x . .. x . x . . x . . .. . x .. . x .. x . .. x . x . . x . . .. . x .. . x .. x . .. x . x . . x . . .. . x .. . x .. x . .. x . x . . x . . Notice the Active column keeps moving left then wraps. I can't quite figure out the patterns, but that is basically what is going on. Not sure how a FOURTH column would fit into it, but I am guessing the active patterns would be: .. x . . .. x . . .. x . . x . . . x . . . x . . . .. . . x .. . . x .. . . x .. . x . .. . x . .. . x . .. x . . .. x . . .. x . . x . . . x . . . x . . . .. . . x .. . . x .. . . x .. . x . .. . x . .. . x . .. x . . .. x . . .. x . . x . . . x . . . I bet that the number of times the active column changes is always N-1 before it switches. Can anyone take it from here Anyone see the pattern? It looks harmonic to me, but there are patterns that CANNOT happen then, so I am not sure how to determine the first row. ..

Wait a minute, even the different lists Ian gave as examples in the original post don't match up --- In the letters one, the third to last and the last letter groups are both BCA. But in the numbers one, the third to last is 8 0 16 while the last is 16 0 8. So something is amiss in one or the other of those lists. I agree this will be very tough as there is little apparent pattern in the lists.

Re: CrystalTech outage?
Luckily none of my dedicated servers were affected, nor any of my clients. SORT OF... One of my clients uses a combination of his own SQL Server and CT's, where the CT server manages a peripheral app and his client variables (!). His CF connections kept working but his ASP DSN's died. I *guess* I connected to the IP in CF when I set up the server, and his ASP guy did machine name ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). We've had major issues with the reliability of their shared SQL Servers and I finally weaned the client off of his but I get it for free shared SQL Server to a dedicated one. I'll make sure he knows I saved his a$$ yet again in my next email to him :-) One more example of why you want to stay truly dedicated if you go that route. I think I'll recommend he get another server for his final legacy stuff. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:261795 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: access individual instances of CF
Is there a way to force the JRUN connector to use an individual instance while maintaining session replication? That's all I really want, for the request to be served by any of the instances (managed by the loadbalancer currently), except the instances that have failed my custom health check, while still having session replication, so that when people switch instances they do not lose their session. I don't think there is a way to do this. Why not just stop instances that fail your custom health check? Once you do that, the connector shouldn't use them. I know one way to do this would be to use the build in web server, but this is not recommended for production use, and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to set it up (Is there a way to change the web root?) Yes, the JRun web server can be configured: http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/adv_development/config_builtin_webse rver/ I typically use the JRun web server to connect to individual cluster members when I need to use the CF Administrator.

Shopping cart questions?
I have a classifieds site that I am needing to design a shopping cart for. What I am looking to do is let the user create their ad and then once they are done and hit continue, they are taken to a page where they can choose to check out, or they can create another ad. I am wondering what the best way to store this information would be. I may in the future use a clustered enviornment and therfore do not think keeping the cart contents in the session scope would be a great idea. What would be the best way? Database? All input is appreciated.
