• Referencing ColdFusion Query Columns In A Loop Using Both Array And Dot Notation

  Posted on Jun 4, 2013 at 11:06 AM

  I think this is a great blog post. I've been programming in ColdFusion for years and have not used the "for ( i = 1" method at all I don't think. That's the preferred method for looping in JavaScript because "for each" is frowned upon. Now, recently, I started a p... read more »

  Posted on May 14, 2013 at 2:33 PM

  For our wireframing, I grabbed a copy of my "jQuery Mobile First Look" book off the bookshelf and said something like "These are the things that are available." So there wasn't any real wireframing per se, it was just referring to the jQuery Mobile website and book to se... read more »

• Posting JSON Data To The ColdFusion Server Using jQuery

  Posted on Feb 16, 2013 at 2:12 PM

  Thanks Ben for bringing this post back up again! I decided to pick apart the return value in API.cfm and it proved to be illuminating. I hope if I wrap this in a code block it will format correctly: <cfset HTTPRequestData = GetHTTPRequestData()> &... read more »

  Posted on Dec 11, 2011 at 8:34 PM

  Ben, I've spent some time this weekend copy/pasting your code. I learned a lot! 1. I'm getting response.SUCCESS instead of response.success in validation.done. 2. I think I'd like to use input id="creditCard" instead of input class="creditCard" because that a... read more »
