I'm trying to figure out how to use coldfusion templates. I thought I could setup a template and define all the variables I need and the template page would inherit the values from the declaration. Obviously that isn't the case because I'm getting errors on my page that "Title" and "FooterTitle" are undefined. Here is test.cfm: <CFMODULE...

The file names and paths are stored in a db and they could be PDFs, XLSs, DOCs, TXT, DOTs or RTF and there may be other file types down the road. So I leave the cfcontent set with application unknown. It works great in IE7, just the way I want it to. In IE6,...

Working on a reporting tool to communicate with a tool a lot of our internal customers utilize. A new enhancement requested has been to re-order the log. Each "ticket" has a status log that is stored as a CLOB in the database that on the output report we parse out client side to be in a more "intelligent" format that's far more legible than...
