Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / February 2005

Hi all.  I've run into a bit of a problem with part of an application.  I have
users inputting  , what can be, multiple animal (Species) names and have not
run into any trouble until, one of the Species they included had an apostrophe
in its name (Townsend's big-eared bat).  Well ...

I'm loading a cfpop recordset into a flash datagrid. I want to use the mask
attribute to format the date column, but the results of the mask output the
literal mask  (mask='MM/DD/YYYY'  ouputs   'MM/DD/YYYY' for the whole column).  
I understand this is occuring because the grid ...

Hi all...
Quick question.  I have just started to use cfc files.  I am attempting to
invoke it, however how do I tell the system the location of the cfc file.  I
have placed the cfc off the root in a file called "objects"

I'm doing a bit of research before I actually build this site and I think I
need to use CFLOCK (for the first time) to make the site work properly. I've
read a bunch online and in the CFML resource, but I'm still a bit foggy on how
to use CFLOCK.  The site will contain a form ...

I use cffile to upload images to my webserver. When I try to go back and delete them I get a 'sharing violation' error. Says the source file is in use.
Any ideas???

Can anyone tell me how to format textarea data before inserting it into a
SQL database so that the text retains its format when output. (ie...
Carriage returns) If someone enters 3 paragraghs into a textarea I want to
output that data as 3 paragraghs, not 1 data chunk. Thanks.

Does cf have the ability to put a spell checker on a web application form?  
Also I would like to have the ability for a users to create a link without
having to copy and paste code into the form.  I noticed this form has a popup
for adding a link.

I have a cfc that  has a function that has access='remote'. This should make it
so it is web service enabled.  I check the wsdl file and it seems to create the
file fine except that when I try and invoke the service, I get the following
error.    Could not generate stub objects ...

I'm new to CFFILE and I'm trying to figure out how to upload a file to a
server.  I've read several posts and I think I'm quite close, but it's just not
quite working for me. I've created a form and I'm able to grab a file from my
computer.  On the action page I've added some ...

I really like the look of the flash forms for a project I am working on, but I
need to be able to do all the validations I was doing with regular old HTML
forms and JavaScript.   Previously the following javascript was called onSubmit
of the form.  It checks to see if 1 field is ...

Can we create javascript/actionscript functions that can be called onsumit to
make very specific validations.  e.g.  If ( value == true ) Grabbing values
from different form elements and concatinating them to make an insert on
another element. Else Input static text into form ...

Hi, I've been trying to figure out a way to get coldfusion to prevent access
for someone who's logged out of a site and then tries to go back in by clicking
the browsers back button.  I have a logout option that clears out the cookie
variables, session variables, CFID, and ...

This may be a dumb question.  If so I apologize in advance.  I have a flash
form on a page that has a DHTML menu.  When the user mouses over the menu then
the dropdown menu items are hidden behind the flash form.  My understanding of
CSS is that z-index is only used with absolute ...

I signed up for a forum account to ask a few questions that concern our
company.
We are a small company and have had a very nice site for years.
We now have plans to launch an ecommerce side to the site.

Is there an 'easy' way to share SESSION and/or CLIENT variables across
applications?    I have an e-commerce site that has several 'mini-sites.'  Each
mini-site has it's own look and feel and showcases different products, but they
are all interrelated and share a single shopping ...
