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...

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...

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...

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 "Yes, Mom, I'm Sure" (submit) and Cancel. It works fine, but on one particular item, only the Cancel button showed up! I looked at...

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...

I am using canned code to produce pop-up menus, and no errors appear that I can see, but I am getting user complaints. On *some* machines it appears the menus "lock-up" or get "confused" and otherwise become inoperable. I can't see a pattern yet - could be the IE version...

I have a remote provider of files for our web site, that traditional sent the files to my web server via FTP. Now he tells me he can only do it by SSH. I've heard of replacing Telnet with SSH, but not FTP. Is this really necessary, or even possible?

I am moving my dynamic site to a new host and am trying to figure out the most cost-effective solution. I use Cold Fusion against a SQL Server database. And we have Realmedia. I've outgrown virtual hosting, but the nice thing was that each piece of the setup was on a separate machine. I've just...

The weirdest thing is going on with Verio. They sent me a notice that the root IP of my VPS server would "change" on April 1. That's all. So, I routinely asked 1.) if I could assume that change would be reflected on their own nameservers, and 2.) if there would be an overlap period...

I am having trouble getting a cookie to set. I am processing an order form. From the FORM variables, I pull a query of several items checked off the order form. I want to store the query results (called "pullinfo"), row by row, in a cookie (using CFLOOP). The first time with the...

I'm terribly frustrated trying to plan my future, because I am torn between wanting to be a web manager and wanting to be a web developer. In my current job I am both, which in some ways is the best of both worlds, but also the worst. If I am the web manager or project manager, and have...

I'm new at integrating Flash movies, so this is probably something basic, but I've tried everything. 1. I am loading this script (where 'logoanim' is the name of the movie, and the label for the embed name and object ID): <!-- // F. Permadi May 2000 function getFlashMovieObject() { if...

I have to put down in words some of the anger I feel when I am on the receiving end of other people's impulsive suggestions for web sites. This happens often, but most recently manifested in an emotional meeting related to people's feelings in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks...

The display code below should show the name of an author followed by the headlines of the articles written by the author. This works fine against a query that pulls all rows, but used on a query that displays only certain rows (called alphapull) I don't get the grouping...the author name...

I WANT robots to hit my site for search engine indexing. But I have a dynamic site with query strings. (e.g., mytemplate.cfm?parameter1=x[ampersand]parameter2=y When the bots go to a page for a URL they have, they escape the ampersand delimiters into [amperand-amp-semicolon] which ruins the URL...

<vent> I am so tired of clients telling me how to do my job. Everybody knows exactly what they want, regardless of whether it is good or not. Yes, yes, we are paid to give them what they want....but that should not be an absolute. I feel like I am being used for convenience more than...

My boss (Communications Dept.) is a good guy, but clueless about technology. It is a real problem, because if we have a meeting where I need to really lay out a critical problem for him involving other departments, or time or scope or money, I have to first listen to 30 minutes of &quot;Gee...

I am joining two tables in a query, where the value in Table 1 foreign key column &quot;authorsid&quot; corresponds to the Table 2 primary key &quot;authorsid&quot;. My problem is that some rows in the foreign key table have multiple comma-delimited values (&quot;46, 13&quot;) and my SELECT...
