• On Staying Focused And Productive In The World Of Programming

  Posted on Jan 19, 2016 at 11:58 AM

  Damn Ben, that was an excellent and inspiring post. I have to say though, the idea that you of all people suffer from 'impostor syndrome'? Sheesh... You should know that you're the reason most of the *rest* of us feel like impostors from time to time! Or to rephrase more positively: Without your ... read more »

• LOCAL Variables Scope Conflicts With ColdFusion Query of Queries

  Posted on Mar 15, 2013 at 7:26 AM

  @Curt Self - Yup... you and the rest of the CF community. Adobe should be paying Ben, I reckon there'd be a lot less CF websites out there without him. @Ben - Thanks for solving yet another issue. Previously I've been copying a Local variable to an unscoped variable in order to use in QOQ, which ju... read more »

• Looping Over ColdFusion JSON Queries In jQuery

  Posted on Feb 22, 2013 at 8:19 AM

  Is there an issue using this on a query returning a single row? I seem to get a JS error when I attempt to do that. TypeError: invalid 'in' operand b ...0;b<c.DATA.length;b++){(function(f){var e={};a.each(c.COLUMNS,function(g,h){e[h]...... read more »

• Using CSS Pseudo Elements :before And :after

  Posted on Jan 21, 2013 at 11:50 AM

  Actually, though I'm guilty of doing it myself, I don't think using :before to add an asterisk to a required field is good usability. A screen reader won't be able to pick that asterisk up - unless they've changed recently to pick up CSS 'content' values. Still, they're a great way to add design to... read more »

• Ask Ben: Manually Enforcing Basic HTTP Authorization In ColdFusion

  Posted on Feb 1, 2012 at 10:05 AM

  I'm using this, or some variant thereof, to force authentication of a REST API I've been working on using Taffy. It all works perfectly in development and is a very slick solution (thanks as always, Ben!), but when I run it live it seems that the authentication details aren't passed along in the hea... read more »

• Learning ColdFusion 8: CFThread Part IV - Cross-Page Thread References

  Posted on May 13, 2010 at 7:07 AM

  Thanks for this - it seems like a bit of a hack to store the data in the application scope, but damn if it doesn't work a charm. I had a massive timing issue with posting data to a payment gateway and this technique solved the problem. The thing is, I can't see why this functionality isn't built i... read more »

  This is a fantastic concept - I just hope it doesn't work out to be a financial milestone around your neck... Of course, the amount of time this blog has saved me over the last year, we should probably be paying you... ;)... read more »
