True. But in the case of importing json strings into JS it is necessary. In fact eval could have been designed for json, if it weren't created well before :). If the myjson is just a JSON string you've outputed into a script tag, then that would work - the JSON will be evaluated with the reset of

Hi Ryan, SOE is supposedly the ducks nuts as to why. Yet, you'd have to be a moron to expect Google to differentiate between XHTML vs HTML as in the end, content is the one commodity google and co want initially. I've read many a debate on it, but in the end the browsers are smart enough and will

[cfaussie] Re: Is there such a thing as "undocumented features" now?

There's two sides to this. 1) doing something like this: That's leveraging the fact that a CF string is actually a Java string, and using a standard Java string method upon it. 2) That's leveraging the fact that a CF query is actually a Java class, and comes with some *undocumented* methods.

I think you've got it right in your earlier conclusions, Steve. When it comes to using Java functionality from within CF, such as only "undocumented" from the perspective of a CF person learning about them from the CF docs. They're the same, real java methods available with any Java class and CF i

A byte is a standard length - almost always eight bits - which can store 256 possible values. I suspect that's the part you already knew ;-) A character is often one byte in size (ASCII, for example... well: strictly speaking that's only seven bits, but you get my drift); but depending on the en
