We ran into this bug last week and it caused us enough headache that I decided to make a quick blog post about it. It seemed pretty bizarre at first, but after figuring out what was going on, I can definitely understand why it's happening, although I do consider it a bug in IE 8.
Today is my last day of employment at Dealerskins, and Monday I will start a new job. I jokingly told everyone at Dealerskins that I as going be working at the Skynet Division of Cyberdyne Systems. While ushering in the total destruction of mankind may have its appeal to some, the truth is I'm going to work at Vanderbilt University. I'm very excited about this move and I'm definitely looking forward to it. But this decision did not come lightly as the group here at Dealerskins is top notch, and I have made quite a few friends here. However, the opportunity from Vanderbilt was one that was too good to pass up.
Several months ago I decided that I wanted to learn a CF framework and use it for an application I was working on. Not for any particular reason other than I've always heard a lot about the various frameworks and decided it was time to learn one.
This is just a test post to make sure I've got everything working correctly. Not only have I given my blog a fresh new look, but I've also upgraded to the latest version of BlogCFC. Now that I've got a new look for my blog, maybe it will encourage me to start blogging more.
I have some confusion on caching a query from inside a component, so this post is really just a call-out to the CFML community to help me figure it out. In a nutshell, here's my question: Can you cache a query if it's in the "var" scope of a CFC? Before you answer, let me elaborate a little to explain my thoughts on the subject.
I hate Spam, which means I love CFFormProtect. One of the first things I did when I set my blog up (4 or 5 months) ago was to make sure CFFormProtect was enabled. A few weeks ago, though, I started seeing some comment Spam getting through. So, I got a Project Honeypot key and an Akismet key (both free) and enabled both of those features in CFFormProtect and that put a stop to it. Since enabling these features, I haven't had any comment Spam. It has been completely shut down, and this is a glorious thing!
I can't, however, say the same for my blog's contact form. It has been getting hammered!
I'm sure this has already made its rounds, but I'm putting it here mainly so I'll have a record of it when I can't remember it again.
If your sites do not render correctly in Internet Explorer 8, you can use meta tags to tell Internet Explorer 8 to always render a site or page like Internet Explorer 7.
This is a strange one. I'm hoping that someone else has come across it and figured out what the problems is. Basically, after I create a new entry to my blog, if I edit something directly in the database, that entry doesn't display anymore.
