• Setting ColdFusion Cookies With CFCookie vs. Cookie Scope

  Posted on May 3, 2010 at 10:58 AM

  Ben, I just made this "discovery" myself about two weeks ago. Like you I thought the only way to send set-cookie headers was using cfcookie, but I was obviously wrong. I wonder if this behavior changed at some point? Anyway, one other thing I will add to this is that using StructDelete() on... read more »

  @Paul - You may also want to check out JSONUtil on RIAForge, http://jsonutil.riaforge.org/. It has a strict encoding option that will keep leading zeros on string data types.... read more »

  @Ben - You are finding some really important bugs and I want to make sure Adobe knows about them! I'm sure the CF team reads your blog, but just in case ;)... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 9: Application.cfc OnCFCRequest Event Handler For CFC Requests

  Posted on Jul 15, 2009 at 2:49 PM

  I agree that this could be useful, but I'm not sure it is worth breaking web services and flex remoting. Has anyone tested this with flex remoting? Also I have one request. In the future could you please post the bug number so we can easily vote on your issues? I found this bug, #78816, bu... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 9: Implicit Struct And Array Usage

  Posted on Jul 13, 2009 at 8:32 PM

  There also seems to a general issue with ColdFusion's evaluation logic. Take the following example: users[]; for (i=1;i<10;i++) { users[i] = user = {}; } This throws a "user undefined" error in the loop.... read more »

• REStructFindValue() - Adding Regular Expression Searching To StructFindValue()

  Posted on Jul 9, 2009 at 12:17 PM

  Too funny. I just submitted two new functions to cflib.org: REStructFindValue() and REStructFindValueNoCase(). One thing to note, your REStructFindValue() implementation searches both arrays and structures. StructFindValue() will iterate through arrays, but will only return results from str... read more »

• ColdFusion 8 Application Specific Mappings Work With The CFComponent Extends Attribute

  Posted on Jun 11, 2009 at 1:26 PM

  I too was under the impression this did not work. I think part of the confusion stems from the fact that you cannot use application specific mappings in cfimport tags, so they do not work everywhere you would expect them to.... read more »

• Creating A Remote AJAX Proxy In Javascript Without ColdFusion 8's CFAjaxProxy

  Posted on Feb 17, 2009 at 2:55 PM

  Pretty slick. I'd like to see someone write a replacement for cfajaxproxy that uses jQuery under the hood. Ideally with the exact same API as cfajaxproxy so you could just replace a cfajaxproxy tag with jqueryproxy tag but leave all the other JS in place. (Hmm... maybe I'll do that.)... read more »

• FireBug's Console.dir() vs. DOM Tab

  Posted on Jan 14, 2009 at 9:57 AM

  Just FYI, user defined variables show up in bold in the DOM panel. Well, I say user defined, but I really mean any non-native objects, including those added by Firebug itself. Built-in DOM elements show up in plain text. As far as getting to JS variables without using the c... read more »
