• Using $Variable In jQuery Code Is Just Hungarian Notation

  @Ben, I haven't tried working with this at all but here is something that came to mind. Did you try using your variable you first create "thisDirectory" when you try to refresh the project? such as <param key="projectname" value="#thisDirectory#" />... read more »

• How To UN-Unformat Your Code (Like A Pro)

  Posted on Nov 9, 2009 at 8:20 AM

  @Ben, I am glad they fixed that in CF9 as that doesn't make sense why you wouldn't be able to if one was private and one wasn't.

• Using Regular Expressions In Javascript (A General Overview)

  Posted on Nov 2, 2009 at 1:03 PM

  @Ben, I am not saying I prefer one over the other but in that case the more readable and easier one to deal with was the implicit constructor. It allowed me to be able to look at the RegExp as just that a regular expression and not worry about the escaping a backslash that is suppose to escape a ... read more »
