• Track Document-Level Clicks With jQuery MouseDown Events

  Posted on Nov 12, 2009 at 10:18 AM

  Very cool. Once again, thanks for sharing! Also, the Jing audio/visual component is perfect. This kind of thing is conveyed so quick, clear and concise in video form.... read more »

• Exploring IIS Mod-Rewrite For Rewriting URLs In A ColdFusion Application

  Posted on Sep 2, 2009 at 11:06 AM

  @Ben: My bad on the QSA (query string append) flag -- you're absolutely correct. It's required in your example and would be with Apache mod_rewrite as well. I should have confirmed with the docs before commenting ;-) My confusion stemmed from the fact that the query string *is* automaticall... read more »

• Exploring IIS Mod-Rewrite For Rewriting URLs In A ColdFusion Application

  Posted on Sep 1, 2009 at 4:47 PM

  Hey Ben, yeah I got pretty excited once I got into Apache mod_rewrite and did some cool stuff. It's powerful stuff! I've read that .htaccess files should only be used if you're unable to use a more global (or per-virtual host) configuration, because it makes for a much greater performance h... read more »

• Ask Ben: Dynamic Web Root And Site URL Calculations In Application.cfc

  Posted on Jul 20, 2009 at 9:56 AM

  Cool stuff Ben! I just have a couple words of caution for the sake of SEO (search engine optimization) concerns. When you use URL rewriting or even just the common CFML friendly URL formats (like /blog/index.cfm/category/page-title-alias/), you can get into trouble with relative paths to static a... read more »

• The New BenNadel.com - Same Content, Fresh New Look

  Posted on May 18, 2009 at 10:03 AM

  @Ben: Looks sweet! @Charlie: Could that yellow text box background be from the Firefox browser itself, or a FF plugin? I recall seeing this happen when you have FF remember your entries or something like that... In any case, my FF3 browser shows a black background there, not yellow. Again,... read more »

• Binding Components And Methods To Create Validation Behaviors

  Posted on Mar 26, 2009 at 2:28 PM

  @Ben, Cool, I'm not crazy :) By the way, I made mentions of ColdSpring, but now that I think about it some more, I'm really talking about using the Factory pattern to have a factory object encapsulate the creation of the business object wired up with the proper services (or behaviors, using... read more »

• Binding Components And Methods To Create Validation Behaviors

  Posted on Mar 26, 2009 at 11:36 AM

  @Ben, Okay, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the additional clarification. However, I still feel like I could accomplish the same with ColdSpring: I could let a ColdSpring-managed factory inject a SaveService, DeleteService and ValidateService at domain object creation. Initially, thos... read more »

• Binding Components And Methods To Create Validation Behaviors

  Posted on Mar 26, 2009 at 11:09 AM

  @Ben, I feel like I'm missing something, so maybe you can confirm or deny. It appears that you're just "injecting" your business object with a Behavior object instead of a Service object, and calling objBehavior.execute() instead of objService.validate(). I can't see any difference in the t... read more »

• Reconciling Different Types Of APIs And What Data They Return

  Posted on Mar 6, 2009 at 11:03 AM

  @Ben, That does seem to "feel" right (returning raw data from the API). But could your initial idea of another layer still apply? Rather than being a separate API on the same level, maybe it's just an API facade, if you will, to handle the raw-to-interface-friendly translation. This may be... read more »

• Reconciling Different Types Of APIs And What Data They Return

  Posted on Mar 6, 2009 at 10:31 AM

  Ben, I too have been struggling with very similar questions for a couple months. Even without AJAX involvement, I'm just questioning the way my domain objects are validated and how any errors are passed down to the view layer with friendly messages. I currently have a generic ValidationResult.cfc... read more »

• jQuery UI 1.7 Released

  Posted on Mar 6, 2009 at 9:55 AM

  @Ben, Thanks for the heads up. I too am currently working on widgety stuff, so I'm curious what your goals are. Is the "good, extendable widget library" you're looking for just the generic UI widgets, or more custom application widgets (or maybe a combo?)? The widget I'm currently wor... read more »
