what's the value of an autosuggest input field?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 11:21:01 GMT

Under normal circumstances, I can copy the content of the users's form field input into another field, just by simply javascripting (using onChange, and this.form.field.value).

In a CFInput field that does autosuggest (like in Ben Forta's simple examples), this doesn't work - 1) onChange behaves differently, and 2) the field value contains the original user search input, not the value that he chose from the suggested values.

How can I address the value that was chosen by the user?

Here's what I actually need to do:

I have a table with several columns and more than 70000 entries. There is a key column that users can choose from, and there is a text column that users can also choose from - either way should work. (Select fields don't work because there are too many values - it seems I have to use text fields with autosuggest.)

When the user chooses a numerical key value, the text field should be automatically filled with the corresponding text value. When the user instead chooses from the text values, the numerical key should automatically filled with the corresponding value. (This is what I tried to do with normal Javascript but it didn't work as explained above.)

To make things even more complicated, there are two more columns whose values should automatically be filled into the corresponding form fields as soon as the user has chosen a row.

I have no idea how to program this but I'm sure it is easily possible if one knows one's way around Ajax.

variables and flow

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:13:35 GMT

Can someone please explain, or point me to a place that explains? I couldn't find anything that really tells me what is going on here.

My problem: a multi page PDF has page headers (created by <cfdocumentitem type="header">). In the body of the data (in my case, tabular data), I need to know in each line if an automatic page break has happened - in this case I need to display a table header (one that contains dynamic data, not something static that I could put into the cfdocument-header).

So far, I have found no way to detect that a page break has happened. Working with variables doesn't work at all. The logic of this thing seems to be very strange, and counterintuitive.

I need to understand

1) What is the program flow here? Are cfdocument body, header, and footer executed somehow sequentially, and in what order?

2) especially, is there any way to use variables that are known to body, header, and footer in a consistent way so that there can be some kind of logic? if I create a variable outside of the <cfdocument>, I expect it to be known to all parts of the PDF - to the body, to the header, and to the footer. I already found that I need to specify "evalatprint=true" in header and footer if I want to use the variables there.

But such a global variable, incremented (and successfully displayed) in the header, stays at zero in the page body until the end, and its value is strangely different in the footer than in the header (footer variable value = header variable value - 1).

Eclipse + RDS + htaccess doesn't work

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 11:01:53 GMT

any remedies for this? I try to develop via RDS on a 64bit Linux CF8 system, using CFEclipse with the CF8 extensions. Today the root directory got protected via a htaccess login - while Homesite displays the new login window and works as usual after the login, Eclipse shows an error saying it can't connect to the RDS site. I couldn't find a way telling it to login first.

help! application.log unusable

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 10:00:31 GMT

we have serious problems with our applications - yesterday, the CF server restarted 18 times according to the server log, and we don't know why. It probably has to do with a huge load - thousands of site visitors, and some of the pages have to communicate with external booking services.

Unfortunately, we cannot use the application log to see if our own programming errors are the culprit. Instead of containing regular error messages, the log file is full of messages like this:

"Error","web-87","01/09/07","18:23:47",,"Error thrown by site-wide exception handler:"
"Error","web-172","01/09/07","18:23:47",,"The Debugging service is not available.This exception is usually caused by service startup failure. Please check your server configuration. ...

What does that mean, "the debugging service not available"? we have debugging turned on on that server. Would we get "normal" error messages if the debugging service was running? and what can we do to successfully start it?
