We have just moved to a new server, upgrading from CF6 to CF7 (package using CF
not tested with CF8).

According to guru Hal Helms in his tutorial about cfcs when he is introducing
methods in cfcs (the free sample chapter from his book on his website) I should
get an error saying Element SALARY  is undefined in VARIABLES. But I don't. I
imagine it is becuase I am using cfmx7 but I ...

I have a form with a cftextarea. The textarea feeds the text into a database
table field. A separate cfm page displays the text as a result of a query. To
insert the formatting tags into the text before it is sent to the database I am
currently using TinyMCE. Is it now possible ...

I need the ability for the user to browse for an image on his local computer
and upload it to the coldfusion server. In addition, I need to:
a) resize it

Can someone advise me on what's the best way to use the same page for different
purposes?

Here is my code within the CFC:

First off the background...  I have a Windows 2003 Server sitting on my bench

I have tried to follow three examples and i get the same result when i display
in my browser. i have tried it on 3 different computers using firefox and
iexplorer. i know i have to turn something on or missing the plot.
can someone stop me from going crazy..... please.

(I'm using DW 6.1 and Coldfusion MX with an Access database).  I've been
going over this for the past couple of days and I am stumped.  I have a form
that collects information used to search on the database:
<FORM name="mp3search" ACTION="mp3test.cfm" METHOD="POST">

Sorry getting confused again here, why do i get this error? Do I have to use
dot or array notation to output only one coloumn of the results? Thanks
Variable QUERYALL is undefined.

Okay, I just need to figure out how to make dynamic variable names. In this
case, I have a loop, and inside the loop I need to create a new array for every
iteration of the loop. Something like
<cfloop from="0" to="10" index="i">

I have a recordset that has a date as part of what's shown.  I've tried

There are a few posts with simmilar problems. But I can't seem to fix my
problem.
I have a LInux RHEL4 server, apache 2.0 and I am trying to install CF8.  If I
set up the apache connection in install I get either the page that wants me to
