• Be Careful Using "#" In ColdFusion DE() Expressions

  Posted on Jun 24, 2008 at 12:47 PM

  @Elliot Not sure if I follow your reasoning. Assuming the extension is at least "", you could simply structure the string "#phone#x#ext#" and have the same result. I don't think Ben needed any help getting the string structured; like his title says "Be Careful Using "#" In ColdFusion DE() Expressi... read more »

• Be Careful Using "#" In ColdFusion DE() Expressions

  Ben, If you're doing your project on ColdFusion 8, you can take advantage of some of the new abilities in CFScript to get the job done, while at the same time, keep things terse and clean.

The nature of your expression will catch all the characters prior to the opening chevron. Is it necessary? Yes, and noticeably depending on the si... read more »

• You Cannot Submit Non-Rendered Forms

  Posted on Apr 18, 2008 at 4:32 PM

  @Ben Hrm ... I can't say I've personally achieved this, that is to upload file data over AJAX, but I am curious as to why it wouldn't be possible - it seems as if a company I know of does exactly that with their accounting software they've developed.
