Hi Kay, the CFM file opens up nicely on the testing server, it actually uploads the CFM file to the testing server and opens up in the browser like expected. But files like CSS and JS do not upload to the testing server. Not even when I PUT or check in the files. When I check the files in they

At the end of the day, ColdFusion is dead until Adobe stop making new versions. Since they just released Version 8 and are working on Version 9. It just isn't dead. Companies don't spend millions of dollars on dead products. So if we wish to discuss dead products, let's talk about Turbo Pascal

I only say better because they are newer. CF hasn't changed much in the last 7 or so years since MX. But outside of CF a lot has changed in the past 7 years, brings me to the conclusion that CF is dated. Plus I really am starting to like the flexibility and features of other languages, eg. OO
