• Ask Ben: Building An AJAX, jQuery, And ColdFusion Powered Application

  Posted on Jul 22, 2011 at 10:59 AM

  @Matt - Sounds like a caching problem. I think jQuery has a "cache" true/false feature, but not 100% sure. Anyway, I always just add "?cache=#TimeFormat(Now(),'hhmmss')#" to all of my ajax URL's.... read more »

• Throwing And Catching A File Using CFHttp For Both Actions

  Posted on Nov 1, 2010 at 11:12 PM

  @Ben, Cool, I'll check it out. The one I linked to above works in everything except IE. I've gotten it to work with the "PUT" method, but I'm struggling a little bit with the normal "POST" fallback option. I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thanks.... read more »

  @Ben I think I answered my own question. Looks like you can grab the XHR data using ColdFusions "GetHttpRequestData()" function. So to capture the file and save you would do something like this: <cfset xhr_data = GetHttpRequestData() /> <cffile action="write" file=&qu... read more »

  Hey Ben, I've been playing around with drag-n-drop uploads using jQuery and XMLHttpRequest Level 2. Check out: http://onehub.com/blog/posts/designing-an-html5-drag-drop-file-uploader-using-sinatra-and-jquery-part-1 Basically it's a PUT method and not sure if this relates with exactly what you a... read more »

  @Randall, you either need to output text/plain content like: <cfset binResponse = ToBinary( ToBase64(strOutput ) ) /> <cfcontent reset="true" /> <cfheader name="content-length" value="#ArrayLen( binResponse )#" /> <cfcontent type="text/html" variable="#binResponse#" /> o... read more »

  @Randall - Forgot to mention. You might have to set the access type for the function. i.e. access="remote" or access="public".... read more »

  @Randall - No problem, you don't have to use jQuery. I was just using that as an example. Like Peter Hanley mentioned you can call any function in a CFC by using the url: http://path/to/[CFCname].cfc?method=[cffunctionName]&[URL_Param]=whatever So whatever your using to do your AJAX call, just use... read more »

  @Randall - All you have to do is use something like $.getJSON (jQuery) to do your call and pass any arguments along. You pass the function name in the parameters and use the variable "method" to specify your function. Something like this: $("/site/page.cfc?method=MYFUNCTION&MYVAR=0",function( resul... read more »

  I've had some code on my site for awhile that was meant to be a tutorial for a file browser. I finally decided to release "my internal version" that I had been using, to the public: http://www.cjboco.com/projects.cfm/project/cj-file-browser/3.1.0 It's interface is completely written in jQuery an... read more »

• CFMail: CFMAILPARAM Used to Embed Images in Email

  Posted on Oct 28, 2009 at 12:49 PM

  I have a weird problem where the image is embeded inline like it should, but it's also showing the image at the bottom of the email message. i.e. the same image is being displayed twice. Not sure if this my email program (Mac OS X Mail.app) or if I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone else experienc... read more »

  @ Paolo - I feel your pain. In another life I would find this funny, but for a company who's business it is to HOST WEBSITES, it downright sad the quality of service you get. In my 13 years of dealing with hosting companies, I can truly say that I have never dealt with such an unprofessional compan... read more »
