Cfmail and Missing Line Breaks
Abstract from Coldfusion Muse (Indexed 2006-04-12):
Here's a quick tip I learned today on CF-Talk about CFMAIL and whitespace. If you are using CFMAIL to send plain text mail but you set the "suprressWhitespace" attribute to YES it will strip out the whitspace and cause the mail to be sent without line breaks. To fix it, simply wrap your cfmail tag in a cfprocessingdirective tag, like this:even more blah with a linebreaksome more blahsincerlyblah blahWhile I have not had this problem I now know the solution.

On change of first will pop up second and on change of second will get the values based on first and second. Do you know the smartest way to do this.

So is third-party web design a dead business?
Abstract from SitePoint (Indexed 2006-10-04):
Many of your comments to the last blog were quite depressing. Most of you made one of two points:1. Web design for clients doesn’t pay well. The only way to make money in this business is by designing your own sites and making money that way.2. Most clients want a lot but won’t pay.If that’s [...]

Server-side Vs. Client-side Validation Revisited
Abstract from Coldfusion Muse (Indexed 2006-03-16):
CF Muse Reader Asks:You suggest both client and server side should be used for validation. Just to check - I should code so that js picks up the errors first using event code or onsubmit then let server side pick up the errors on submit using cfinput validate/required etc. Or do I recode all the stuff to be event driven such as onchange etc.This question refers to the previous poston form validation. From the way the question is phrased I believe the reader is probably proficient at JavaScript. ...(truncated)...

Abstract from Coldfusion Muse (Indexed 2006-02-27):

To get rid of them, use the following steps:Start the print spooler service if it is not already running.Go to Start-Programs-...(truncated)...

Removing Duplicate Records in a Database
Abstract from Coldfusion Muse (Indexed 2006-02-02):
SQL provides many ways of grouping data. It also has many ways to select data. But if you've ever tried to remove duplicates from a database you might have needed 2 or 3 trips to the liquor store to figure it out. I've seen routines that match and compare and order and update and delete willy nilly - all just to find and fix duplicate rows in a database. I've never had to do this to any of my databases of course, because all my constraints and applications are perfect (gah!). Sti...(truncated)...
