• Invoking A ColdFusion Function With A Closure-Like CALLER-Based Variable Binding

  Posted on Jan 14, 2010 at 12:20 PM

  Posted on Jan 11, 2010 at 1:15 PM

  I like this approach. It reminds me of those Firefox and Chrome extensions that auto-paginate. The next 'chunk' of content is appended to the bottom of the page. They don't remove in the other direction, though. As an aside, I always have wished that the Google search results page would do... read more »
