I understand that various languages may be different and I need to know what the answer is in PHP, but I am also curious about javaScript, CFScript, and ActionScript if the answer would be different.

I'm currently looking at a terrible legacy ColdFusion app written with very few stored procedures and lots of nasty inline SQL statements (it has a similarly bad database too). Does anyone know of any app which could be used to search the files of the app picking out any SQL statements and listing the tables/stored procedures which are ...
I'm trying to put a tooltip on a table row so that when you hover over any part of the row the tooltip displays. When I put the cftooltip tag around the entire table it works, and when I put it within a td element it works, but nothing displays when I put it around td or tr elements. Any suggestions? Thanks! ...

Is there a better way to write the following? <cfloop list="#qry.Columnlist#" index="FieldName"> <cfset "form.#FieldName#" = Evaluate("qry.#FieldName#")> </cfloop> This loop is assigning every field in the query to a corresponding form field. I understand the evaluate function is shunned. ...

Page 116 of the developer's guide says "Unlike the cfloop tag, CFScript for-in loops do not provide built-in support for looping over queries and lists."

In the old days I would SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE PK = SCOPE_IDENTITY() And this would give me all the fields, including the defaults that SQL Server had assigned. ...
Each time when using cfparam I have a kind of feeling that I put it in the wrong place or generally mis-using. Consider this example, say we need to show the new entity form (with default input values): <cfparam name="form.attachLink" default="" /> <input type="text" name="attachLink" value="#HTMLEditFormat(form.attachLink)#" /> Eve...

I am looking for some way to code a function (I'm open to any language or library at this point) to take an already existing PDF file as input and return a modified PDF file that links certain words to different URLs. I know PHP and ColdFusion both have good tools for dealing with PDF's, but I haven't been able to find anything that wor...

Hi, I'm doing a kind of dictionary for .NET CF. I'm trying to display formatted text in which all (or some) words are 'clickable' -- in which I means if one clicks on it, it should fire an event telling me which word was clicked. However, .NET CF 3.5 only supplies me with WebBrowser, which I could use for displaying formatted text, but...
