    IIS and DNS issue: subdomains

    I would suggest you be exceedingly careful with this, especially if you are using Windows/IIS. First of all, any subdomain on the same IP address as the main site requires host headers...that is how the site tells the difference between one site and another. However, my experience has been...

    Pentagon Scraps Internet Voting System

    The problems with e-voting are not just potential errors, but potential fraud as well. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference...but there are a LOT of problems. Go to www.blackboxvoting.org and verifiedvote.org and learn about what has gone on.... Jeff

    Technical Phone Interview

    Omega36 - LOL! I once had a big interview for a fairly high-level position. Unfortunately, I was homeless at the time and living in a van. But I wasn't a bum, I had my suits and clothing on a rod in my van, I had a whole setup. But it was obviously cluttered and a little messy. i was...

    Web Developer Career

    Strangely, nobody has really mentioned the front end. It's an important skill set. You need to know something about navigation conventions, such as menu usage and layout, buttons, pick lists, etc. and human factors if you plan on doing any design work. Design isn"t just pretty graphics...it is...

    Object-Oriented Web Consulting

    I'm a web developer who now works mostly short-term contract jobs. For most of my career, I have built or updated sites that are far short of object-oriented methodology - in other words, a lot of hard-coded SQL queries, actions, etc. My biggest problem was somebody else's sloppy spaghetti code...

    trace

    Not sure what you are trying to do....but you can run any query from Query Analyzer, so I would try that first.

    Email .doc as text

    If you need to just read the file, then just use CFFILE to read it into a variable and then dump it into the CFMAIL. If you are sure you need to upload , then 1.) upload the file with CFFILE, then 2.) read the file into a variable with CFFILE, and 3.) dump the file contents into a CFMAIL. Then...

    application log

    Sometimes you get this error when CF gets confused about a variable. But you need to post some code here...your question is too sketchy.

    Validate email address only when entered

    It may be testing the content, rather than for existence, as you have your regex set up. The field is not really empty. You do have an email address: "" And of course it is not valid. I'm not sure how to account for a blank field with required = No. Make required Yes, or drop the regex.....

    Get ID or DataRow of new insert record.

    I cant help you with the email, but here is a SQL trick I just picked up...I havent even tried it myself yet so I make no promises. <cfquery name="myQuery"....> INSERT INTO blah (field1, field2....) VALUES (var1, var2....) SELECT ID </cfquery> <cfoutput> myQuery.ID </cfoutput>

    check box won't update in database

    The "checked' parameter controls only how the checkbox appears on the form...in other words, if you want the box checked by default, you add "checked' to the tag. But that has nothing to do with processing the form variable. In the code you showed, your value statement is dynamic, but a...

    A Question about Job Descriptions

    Yeah, well, I apply for jobs where I am 100-110% qualified, and most of the time never hear from them.

    Newbie to commercial: How do you organize connections?

    This is gonna sound real basic, coz it is....but I have worked inside one network for many years, and now for the first time am in a commercial IT solutions shop. Suddenly, there are remote connections to multiple boxes everywhere, FTP/RDS connections to servers, backdoors here, special logins...

    U.S. v. India: Turned down Indian work - would you?

    Tarwn, What are you are saying? Are you Jewish and have been discriminated against on that basis? How would somebody know that and why would they care? Could you please explain. pl12987

    U.S. v. India: Turned down Indian work - would you?

    I had a wonderful opportunity today for a 6-month web development contract, with good pay. And I turned it down cold. I am a U.S. citizen and the contact person was Indian, which by itself did not turn me off...I work with Indians all the time and they are good people in general. But then I was...

    Missing Submit Button

    I've never run into this before. This is a delete routine on a form on a Cold Fusion template, and on the confirmation screen the form has two buttons &quot;Yes, Mom, I'm Sure&quot; (submit) and Cancel. It works fine, but on one particular item, only the Cancel button showed up! I looked at...

    Lesson Learned: MULTIPLE Backups

    Okay, so you've got your database backup cycling every 24 hours right? Maybe even 12 hours- man, you don't want to lose ANY data in a restore, do you? What happens if a backup goes by before you find out about the error? That just happened to me. I started noticing strange errors and spent...

    Web: Why won't clients listen to me?

    Whoa, this fine parsing misses the point. Anybody -- be they employee, contractor, or consultant, is paid for what they KNOW and can DO. For their skills and experience, and hence by implication for their ability to solve business problems with them. I don't think anybody and everybody can do...

    Pop-up menu problems

    This last is biggest concern, and it sounds like an IE6 problem. Has anyone had problems running scripts under IE6? pl12987
