• Cleaning High Ascii Values For Web Safeness In ColdFusion

  Posted on Aug 24, 2010 at 7:11 AM

  Hey Ben, I used the information from your post to write a sanitization function for a C# web service yesterday, but I was still having problems. It turns out the entire range [\x00-\x7F] isn't safe. For example, a vertical tab (\x0B) causes all 3 XML parsers I tried (ColdFusion, Firef... read more »

• jQuery Photo Tagger Plugin For Flickr-Style Photo Tagging

  Posted on Feb 4, 2010 at 11:18 AM

  For what it's worth, Flickr uses a button on the page to turn on tag creation, and allows simple html elements to be included, like links and strong/em tags.... read more »

• ColdFusion vs. XYZ - It Finally Got Physical

  Posted on Aug 10, 2009 at 3:50 PM

  Ben, I get that you're telling a joke, but I have a ( tiny ) problem with it... First, I get why you rag on .NET (or anything else) -- as CF Developers, we regularly put up with much worse from people who haven't looked at the language/platform since 4.5 or 5.0 and/o... read more »

• Caching ColdFusion Pages With Expires Header Value

  Posted on Jun 26, 2009 at 9:03 AM

  I've used the same method of passing a url parameter to signify when the file has changed, but it never occurred to me to set it to a value that was updated every time you re-initialize the application. That's darn right brilliant. Good tip. Thanks Ben!... read more »

• A Problem With My Coding Methodology That's Driving Me Crazy

  Posted on Jun 20, 2009 at 8:38 AM

  In CF, in that case, I use a var scoped struct named local, and in flex I have been trying using the prefix "fn" for function arguments that match a class property. fnDisplayType will be very similar to class property displayType. I'm not sure how much I like this, but at least it makes it clear... read more »

• A Problem With My Coding Methodology That's Driving Me Crazy

  Posted on Jun 16, 2009 at 9:45 PM

  Now that I'm doing more development in Flex, I've run into a similar issue, only it's not about capitalization, it's about spacing. I've seen the same code written a few ways: [Bindable] public var foo : String = "bar"; [Bindable] public var foo:String = "bar"; In thi... read more »

• A Problem With My Coding Methodology That's Driving Me Crazy

  Posted on Jun 12, 2009 at 1:59 PM

  I always thought that Hungarian Notation made a lot of sense from a theory perspective... in the classroom. And I can see it being useful in complex mathematical situations (computing formula results in the code that makes Excel work, for example -- which is where the H.N. idea came from); but in... read more »

  I've done something similar with JavaScript includes before. It wasn't for themes, but used the same methodology. It worked really well for me. :)... read more »

• KinkyTwits - My ColdFusion And jQuery Powered Twitter Client

  Posted on Apr 1, 2009 at 11:13 AM

  @Craig, I wonder if Twitter recently changed their API. They've been known to do that. If you have specific problems, I would recommend logging them on the issues page for the RIAForge project. Not enough people do that. :)... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 8: CFThread Part I - Data Exchange

  Posted on Feb 26, 2009 at 1:04 PM

  Ben, I wanted to mess with sessions from inside a thread, so I created this page (cfthread.cfm) to test it out: http://atuttle.pastebin.com/f1a734bff My tests, in CF8, show that the session variable isn't updated as f... read more »

• Snurl.com (SnipUrl) API ColdFusion Component Wrapper

  Posted on Feb 6, 2009 at 10:19 AM

  Andy, I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding your intentions, but wouldn't it be easier just to write a function that uses the configuration from the services structure to compose the API call as needed? You may need to add a configuration point or two (ReturnsXML = true/false, comes to mind), but... read more »
