    inconsistent 37000

    The app is a content management system for 50-some academic departments at a community college. The edit-your-department's-content page displays a variable number of sets of three fields: FactSheetTitle, Curriculum, and CourseList. Additionally, users have the option to add or delete sets...

    force mergefield update for {includepicture}?

    on that same Staff Directory project [see thread68-384950 for other fun], WordXP now won't update any of the {includepicture} fields after merging. I select all and hit F9, and nothing happens. Not an image do I see. Is there another way to command Word to update merge fields (besides using...

    wordxp takes matters into its own hands - grr!

    I'm setting up a staff directory as a Mail Merge, and everything's all fine and dandy until we come to my {INCLUDEPICTURE} that is an absolute path to a folder on a network drive. The path to the image needs to be: {INCLUDEPICTURE "I:\\Inet\\Public\\CSSrvcs\\Roster\\Pictures\\{MERGEFIELD...

    make my own JSStringFormat for 4.01

    I've got CF5 on my local developement machine, 4.01 on the webserver, and the software department says "no upgrade to CFServer for at least a month or two." Thus my current situation of developing something that works fine locally, alerts me to breaks on the web server, and pinches me...

    word2002: scale an {includepicture}

    I'm Mail Merging a staff directory, and I'm using {INCLUDEPICTURE} to bring in .jpg files from a local folder. The merge works just fine, except that the images vary in their height/width dimensions. I need to specify the size/scaling of the images in the Word doc (I don't have permission to...

    unending crashes while editing a particular site

    While working on a particular site in Dreamweaver UltraDev 4, I'm experiencing crashes EVERY TIME I close a document or open up a second one. That's right, not just occasionally, not just after lots of editing ... EVERY time. http://www.normandale.edu/main/about.htm is a good example of the...

    fusebox vs. cfinclude

    Inexplicably quirky errors are so fun. In my main <cfswitch> statement, every <cfinclude> that calls a &quot;qry_[name].cfm&quot; template is throwing a 404 Not Found. But the really irking part is this ... if I introduce into that query file a nonexistent variable or something that I know will...

    get file with highest number in filename

    I've got a webcam that's archiving photos to a directory on our server: a new photo every 5 minutes, and a unique file name for each photo. I could just have the camera overwrite the existing image file, and point an html page to the constantly-updating image, but then that wouldn't be...

    trifold brochure

    I'm just starting on producing a trifold for the first time in Freehand 9 (&quot;first time&quot; meaning doing so in FH9 for the first time, not making a trifold for the first time). Are there any resources for trifold templates available out there? Or does anyone have one to share? I don't...

    custom tag not working in cf4, IIS/sp6

    I'm trying to employ <cf_bodycontent> for the first time in a new application, and the error being thrown [take a look at http://www.normandale.mnscu.edu/main/continuingeducation/index.cfm] implies that bodycontent.cfm isn't being processed. Has anyone else had this sort of trouble with custom...

    dw modification: xhtml tag closing

    Is anyone familiar with modifying Dreamweaver to close tags with the XHTML-compliant trailing space and slash [e.g. <br />? I was told that it's possible to edit one of Dreamweaver's .js files to have it do so automatically, but I haven't been able to find said file. And last time I checked, no...

    breadcrumb nav positioning?

    Breadcrumb navigation ... that trail of links near the top of a page saying &quot;you are here&quot; ... a great feature. I've got a question, though; an opinion poll of sorts. Most sites I've seen that employ the breadcrumb trail place it somewhere just below the header (Tek-tips does this...

    messing with Fireworks js

    I'm working with Macromedia Fireworks' javascript-generated dhtml pop-up menu, trying to adjust it to suit my needs. By default, it positions the menus absolutely (as opposed to relatively) in the browser window ... which is great as long as the layout of the page is aligned to the left edge of...

    modifying FW Javascript

    I'm working with Fw4's popup menus, trying to customize them to perfection ... but I'm really floundering on one tricky detail: I want to insert an image at the top of each popup menu. Not a rollover on the original link, not a disjoint rollover; it needs to be a part of the popup menu itself...

    breadcrumb navigation?

    Look up at the top of this page, right under the &quot;search&quot; box ... you should see Home > Forum Areas > Programmers > Graphics & Web Tools > -Web Site Designers Forum The navigation trail (&quot;breadcrumb navigation,&quot; as in Hansel and Gretel's attempt to find their way home) is a...

    mission: customize summary results

    ... which I hope is not the same thing as Mission: Impossible. I've got a Verity search in place, and I can implement little tricks like returning only x number of characters from the &quot;summary&quot; result column. But what I'd really like to do is return results in this manner (assuming...

    check box values, take two

    I first generate a list of checkboxed items based on a query <cfoutput query=&quot;equiplist&quot;> <tr> <td><input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;equip_item&quot; value=&quot;#Item#&quot;></td> <td class=&quot;eq1&quot;>#Item#</td> </tr> </cfoutput> like so. The name...

    popup - if there's content in a file?

    I'm developing an emergency-classes-canceled alert system on an educational site, and I'd like to pop up a new window with the relevant announcements if there are any announcements to be made. That is, if the appropriate file on my server is empty/null/has no content, I don't want the window...

    big one: replace database using CF app

    I just ran smack into the wall of trying to update (replace, really) the live-on-the-server database ... of course, I get messages saying that the file is locked, since cf is using the db. I could go to the cfserver itself, stop service, replace the db, then restart it, but that's not very...
