I need to pass the DIVISION_NO that is on the same row as the percentage entered. My problem is that after entering the percent, the update fires off, but with the DIVISION_NO from what ever row your cursor ends up on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 29 Aug 05:58 That's not a great title up there, but I worked with a reader this week on an interesting problem with Spry. The issue seemed simple enough. How do you hide a detail region until the user actually selects a row in a data set? Turns out though that th... 28 Aug 22:33 Ok, so yesterday I joked a bit about Gustav (which, by the way, is now tracking closer to Lafayette) and about writing some ColdFusion code to track the hurricane. Being the OCD-natured kind of boy I am, I whipped up something in ColdFusion that seems to work well. Here is what I did... 28 Aug 11:38 Tonight I released a major new update to RIAForge. The change allows project owners to specify other RIAForge users as admins. Right now these admins can't do much. They can only edit project details (the text attributes). But the idea was for me to add the basic low level support, have folks give it a try, and then I'll gradually extend other capabilities to these admins as well. So for example, you can have someone help with managing project issues. 28 Aug 05:55 A picture is worth a thousand words... This is from NOAA's hurricane strength prediction chart for Gustav. I've got a feeling it will continue to pull to the right. I was pretty impressed by the data services at NOAA, especially the use of RSS... 26 Aug 23:20 An AJAX quickie for you this morning. A user asked if it was possible to use a CFC to drive content to cftooltip. He had noticed that unlike other AJAX UI items, the cftooltip doesn't let you use a bind to point to a CFC/JavaScript/URL source. It only provides one argument - sourceForTooltip. This does not mean, however, that you can't use a CFC. Do no forget CFCs under web root can still be accessed via URL. Here is a very simple example: The content to be wrapped. The content to be wrapped. 26 Aug 02:28 Dave sent me an interesting bug this weekend. Turns out if you use an HTML grid, and if you use enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form (required for file upload forms), you get a bug when posting to the server. If you want to try this right now, skip to the end of this post and run the CFM there. (By the way, a huge thank you to David for sending me a question along with a script I could just save and run. That makes it a thousand times easier to help! 25 Aug 03:25 Yesterday I took my three kids to see the new Clone Wars movie. I knew it was coming to TV eventually, but I couldn't pass up the chance to see more Star Wars on the big screen. My boys are pretty big Star Wars fans themselves (gee, I wonder where t... 23 Aug 05:08 Dean asks: I know your big on both Model-Glue and cfajaxproxy, so I thought I would ask for your help using them together. If I have a Model-Glue app that has all of my objects defined and managed using ColdSpring, how would I call one of my service objects using the cfajaxproxy tag? All of the examples I have seen show calling the CFC's directly, but since my service object requires the injection of my DAO and Gateway objects, the direct call would fail. 22 Aug 06:41 Do not forget that registration is open for BFusion & BFlex, a two day conference being held in Bloomington, Indiana on September 6th and 7th. The first day focuses on ColdFusion and the second on Flex. Best of all - you can't beat the price. Free. But just for my readers I have a special surprise. If you register with the code "JEDI", you get 20% off the registration price. That's right. 20% off. You pay 0.00 instead of 0. | | |
