Cfgrid & coldfusion.navigate

I am using a cfgrid and javascript to update a div container.
I am binding the grid to the javascript with cfajaxproxy.
When I click on the grid the appropriate record should show
in the div contain and it does. The problem is that the div
container flashes therefore it is not seamless. I am using
Coldfusion.navigate to pass appropriate parms to the page that
needs to load into the div container. Here is the code that I am
using. I hope that someone has a clue how I can fix this because I
apparently am clueless......
Grid Code followed by the javascript code:

oops, I had two arguments inverted..
Should have been...
ColdFusion.navigate('/cf8/text.cfm','myDiv',mycallBack,myerrorHandler,'POST','form1')

Cfmenuitems no longer work after coldfusion.navigate

There are times when you want to make slight changes to menus based on what a user does. It would be nice to simply "refresh" the menu (likely a cfdiv containing a cfmenu) using ColdFusion.navigate(..). However, if your menu contains cfmenuitems, they no longer appear ("drop down") after performing the navigate. If this is the intended behavior I think it is a major limitation. (CF9 and CF8)
code for my_test.cfm:
<cfajaximport />
<cfdiv id="myDiv">
<cfmenu name="my_menu" type="horizontal">
<cfmenuitem name="options" display="My Options">
<cfmenuitem name="option1" display="Option 1" href="javascript:ColdFusion.navigate('my_test.cfm','myDiv')" />
<cfmenuitem name="option2" display="Option 2" href="javascript:ColdFusion.navigate('my_test.cfm','myDiv')" />
<cfmenuitem name="option3" display="Option 3" href="javascript:ColdFusion.navigate('my_test.cfm','myDiv')" />
</cfmenuitem>
</cfmenu>
</cfdiv>

It turns out that if you remove any one of the cfmenuitem elements prior to doing the navigate the cfmenuitems work correctly...
<cfajaximport />
<script type="text/javascript">
function myNav() {
            removeElements();
            ColdFusion.navigate('my_test.cfm','myDiv');
function removeElements() {
          var d = document.getElementById('myDiv');
          var e = document.getElementById('option1');
          d.removeChild(e);
</script>
<cfdiv id="myDiv">
<cfmenu name="my_menu" type="horizontal">
<cfmenuitem name="options" display="My Options">
<cfmenuitem name="option1" display="Option 1" href="javascript:myNav();" />
<cfmenuitem name="option2" display="Option 2" href="javascript:myNav();" />
<cfmenuitem name="option3" display="Option 3" href="javascript:myNav();" />
</cfmenuitem>
</cfmenu>
</cfdiv>

Can you toggle open/close javascript:ColdFusion.navigate?

I'm looking for a way to toggle open/close a table row within a search query. I have a table of results and a link to more detailed information. I would like that page to stay within the current page. I have the ColdFusion.navigate working correctly but wondering if there is a way to close it?
Here's some of the code I'm using...
<td><a href="javascript:ColdFusion.navigate('details.cfm?ID=#ID#','detail#q.CurrentRow#')">#q.sl n#, #q.sfn#</a></td>
<td><cfdiv id="detail#q.CurrentRow#"></cfdiv>
Message was edited by: Catherine Lesniewski

It is still unclear what you wish to toggle with what. There are a number of processes going on underneath: the open window, its original content, the content - within the window - coming from detail.cfm, and the closed window. It may be impossible to toggle between them.
ColdFusion.navigate() does not create the window. Neither can it open a window. It simply copies output from the page detail.cfm into the already opened window.
You would therefore need, besides ColdFusion.navigate(), two further events. One to open or re-open the window and one to close it. That makes a total of at least 3 events.
Here is an example toggling a shown and a hidden window:
<table>
<cfoutput query="q">
<tr><td><a href="javascript:ColdFusion.navigate('details.cfm?ID=#ID#','detail#q.CurrentRow#')">#q.sl n#, #q.sfn#</a></td><td><a href="javascript:ColdFusion.Window.hide('detail#q.CurrentRow#');">Hide</a> | <a href="javascript:ColdFusion.Window.show('detail#q.CurrentRow#');">Show</a></tr>
</cfoutput>
</table>

ColdFusion.navigate and unvisited tabs

I have created a cflayout (type = border). Naturally, I have
a nifty left side menu, which outputs a query result as a text.
In the center layoutarea, I have a new layout of two tabs.
The tabs are named projectOverview and projectTickets
A link in the left navigation menu is like: <a
href="javascript:
ColdFusion.navigate('project.cfm?pid=#id#','projectOverview');
ColdFusion.navigate('tickets.cfm?pid=#id#','projectTickets')">#projectName#</a>
Now, when I click the link, the projectOverview tab updates
contents always, but projectTickets never updates, until I manually
visit that tab first once. Clicking the left link for the first
time, and then going to the Tickets tab doesn't show the changes.
The next clicking will update the tab, because now it was once
visited.
How could I get around this issue (a bug?) ?
Example cflayout that I use currently.
<cflayout type="border" align="justify">
<cflayoutarea position="left" name="projectDiv"
title="Projects" splitter="true"
collapsible="true" source="projectlist.cfm" size="170"
maxsize="350">
</cflayoutarea>
<cflayoutarea position="center" align="justify"
overflow="auto" >
<cflayout type="tab" name="mainarea">
<cflayoutarea name="projectOverview" title="Project
Overview" source="project.cfm" selected="true">
</cflayoutarea>
<cflayoutarea name="projectTickets" title="Tickets"
source="tickets.cfm">
</cflayoutarea>
</cflayout>
</cflayoutarea>
</cflayout>
And again: The projectTickets source doesn't update until I
visit that tab once. Then it updates on every click from within
projectDiv (projectlist.cfm)

After investigating a bit, it seems that if you don't specify
the source attribute for a tab, then the ColdFusion.navigate works
correctly even for an unvisited tab.However, normally a tab loads
its contents only when it's activated. Previous ColdFusion.navigate
referrals are overridden when the tab is activated, thus updating
the content with the original value of source attribute.
I think this is unwanted behaviour, right?

Issues with coldfusion.navigate (CF9) in Safari & Chrome

I am using Coldfusion 9. I have a ColdFusion.navigate call in a cfdiv tag located within a Cflayout tag (type tab).
The following piece of code is located in a file called "inc_shjobs.cfm" and is being called using the src attribute from a Cflayout tag on another page:
<script>
        ColdFusion.navigate('inc_shjobs.cfm?morejobs','jobs1')
</script>
<cfdiv id="jobs1">
<form name="ne">
    <table width="98%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="6" border="0" bgcolor="white" >

      </tr>
</tr>

         </tr>
    </table>
    </form>
    </cfdiv>
In IE and FF, it behaves approriately by loading only the div. In Chrome and Safary, it reloads the entire page and ignores the parameters. When the same code was run under CF8, it also worked.
Anyone got a clue as to why?
Thanks!

I just tested ColdFusion.navigate on Safari and Chrome (Win 7) and everything works fine.
I recently ran into that same behavior and it had to do with submitting a form. I set an onSuccess or an onSubmit javascript function, which caused an exception and IE didn't handle it very well. It reloaded the entire page.
I suspect it has to do with a javascript error. I would start by doing some simple js debugging.

Coldfusion.navigate moving my browser scrollbar

I have a little Ajax application to build a document a
section at a time. It works great except whenever I use
Coldfusion.navigate to reload my <cflayout type="vbox"> the
whole page automatically scrolls to the top of the page. Is there
any way to "lock" the scroll bar in position so it will not move
when reloading a container? Alternatively is there a way to pass an
anchor through this function? So far I can't get it to work.

If you can't see half of your page, it's probably in your
code. Sounds like
a tag of somesort hasn't been closed.
As Ade said, post a link to your page, or put the page
through the validator
http://validator.w3.org/ this
may pick up your problem.

ColdFusion.navigate call JS function

Hi,
I use ColdFusion.navigate to call a cfc method. In this function, it loads a list from database and set the div innerhtml to the list content.
Then, get the list and it can do the confirmation function.
However, I find that it always call the confirmation function before loading the list complete.
What I use is the following:
ColdFusion.navigate('cfc/control.cfc?method=findSimilarName&new_name='+encodeURIComponent( document.getElementById('name').value),'tempMessage', confirmUpdate(i));
findSimilarName method will set the similar name list to a div named similarName. And I will use it to do the confirmation.
Is there any method to force ColdFusion.navigate calling my confirmation function after the findSimilarName method completed?

Hi Mehdi,
I'm not really sure what you mean here, but let me suggest a solution.
I fyou want to execute javascript at the end of a request you can use the ExtendedRenderKitService.
This makes it possible to add a javascript function call from within javacode.
Example:
You have a javascript function named "pressButton"
<af:resource type="javascript">
     function pressButton() {
         var component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId("pt1:pt_region0:1:r4:0:cb1");
         AdfActionEvent.queue(component, component.getPartialSubmit());
</af:resource> Now you want to call that function from within javacode using the ExtendedRenderKitService;
public void actionListener(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
     FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
     AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().isPartialRequest(context)) {
     ExtendedRenderKitService erks = Service.getRenderKitService(context, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
     erks.addScript(context, "pressButton();");
} good luck

ColdFusion.navigate and PIE.htc

Hello, everyone.
I'm not sure if PIE.htc is part of the problem; I am assuming.
But most of the links that appear in Google when using "ColdFusion 9" +"'f' is null or not an object" as the keyword search are links related to PIE.htc.
I have a list of links that load in a cfdiv when clicked. [onClick = ColdFusion.navigate('doc.cfm?param=blah blah blah','div_name',myCallback,myErrorHandler)]
The first time a link is clicked, no problems whatsoever.
The second time a link is clicked (ANY link), I get the error message 'f' is null or not an object.
Does ColdFusion.navigate clear/delete a JavaScript variable called 'f' when it kicks in?
Any suggestions on what could be causing this?
Thanks,
^_^

ColdFusion.navigate with POST form submission

I need to refresh the entire page, so I am not using any div
on my javascript, I am using the following line.
ColdFusion.navigate(AjaxFormAction, null, callback,
errorHandler, 'post', 'LocCondByQtr')
there is no error but, the whole form is being submit as GET
not POST.
I see my form variables in the url, I need those in the form
scope, any idea where I am doing wrong?
My form name is "LocCondByQtr" and the action for that page
is save in "AjaxFormAction" variable.
I am also using the grid on my form as well.
Please advise.
Thanks,

I believe the answer is that the JSP page after put together with other jsp pages via 'includes' should contain only one <form> tag. The outer most JSP should have the form tag. The inner jsp pages should not. Note all tags on the completed jsp page need to have unique names (to avoid name collisions).

Coldfusion 11 error with cflayout

0 down vote favorite
I have some applications developed on older CF versions (9&10) and in anticipation of a hosting system migrating to CF11 and started doing some
testing with a CF development platform on Windows 8 with Apache 2.4. I have found that in CF11 pages using cflayout and cflayoutarea does not work
correctly when collapsed with javascript:ColdFusion.Layout.collapseArea. Firebug does flag an error in the CF javascript. Wondering if anyone else
has seen a problem like this and if there is a circumvention I could use to get this working.
A very simple example (complements of the Chapter 2 cflayout example demonstrated in Dan Short's video on Ajax & Coldfusion) fails as well on
CF11 but works in CF9 & CF10.

use <CFAJAXIMPORT tag and make sure you have the CFIDE folder as a virtual directory in your IIS local or server machine. if the "cfajaximport" tag alone didn't work, try using it in little more details to the path of CFIDE folder and specify cflayout within the cfajaximport tag as follows:
<CFAJAXIMPORT
    CSSSRC = "CFIDE/scripts/ajax/"
    SCRIPTSRC = "/CFIDE/scripts"
    TAGS = "cfdiv,cfform,cfgrid,cfinput-autosuggest,cfinput-datefield,cflayout-border,cflayout-tab,cfmenu,cftextarea,cftooltip,cftree,cfwindow">
Normally, you shouldn't need all these specifications in the cfajaximport but in case you may try it in more detail as shown above.

Cfgrid and href attribute issue

HI Gang-
I'm building a relatively simple query driven cfgrid, read-only for the most part but I need one of the columns to be a href value that will serve as a drilldown. Everything working fine except that the name/value pair I need appended to the url is being persnickety.
The url I'd like to build and have effected in the cfgrid is something like "index.cfm?action=drilldown&orderid=#dynamicValue#"
I finally got it to work, but not as I would like. Turns out both cfgrid and cfgridcolumn tags each have the "href" and the "hrefkey" attributes, which made for a confusing 45 minutes of trial and error. The closest I could eventually come to my target url of:
index.cfm?action=drilldown&orderid=#dynamicValue#
is actually
index.cfm?action=drilldown&CFGRIDKEY=#dynamicValue#
Not what I wanted but I can deal for now.
Has anyone gotten a hold of building out hrefs in cfgrid using custom name/value pairs dynamically? Would love to know how you did it. Code postings would be even better!
Many thanks,
Rich

Quite a challenge, that one. You can run the following example directly. Have a look at my use of the lastName column. You could also have a look at the ext library.

     function onRowClick(g,rowIndex,e){
       var lastName = ColdFusion.getElementValue("ArtistGrid", "artistGridForm", "lastName");
       var url = "index.cfm?action=drilldown&lastName="+lastName;
       ColdFusion.navigate(url);

Kindly Help me doing it right...i am unable to figure out problem ...

Ah, I found the cause of the issue: Coldfusion stores the properties of user-interface tags like cfdiv and cflayoutarea in the form scope. That is what is destroying your upload form. To see it, run the following test code:
<cfdump var="#form#">
<cflayout type="vbox" name="layout1">
<cflayoutarea name="myLayoutArea123">
<cfform >
<cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="Test by posting form to same page.">
</cfform>
</cflayoutarea>
</cflayout>
Now, the search for a possible solution.

MTOM + ColdFusion

Hi,
I want to send and receive binary files via webservices, but
I don't want to use the Base64 encoding method - too slow
performance.
I read that now we can attach binary files to a soap envelop
(SwA, MTOM or DIME) but I'm wondering if there's an easy way to do
it in ColdFusion. I think that Axis2 is required but CF7 is still
using Axis.
Any clue/advice/experience ?
Thanks in advance, I need to put a final word on it very
soon.

I have been trying to get this to work, and I am not able to
get a working solution. I have tried all weekend to no luck.
Heres what Im doing>
I have a page that I have a href link that i have opening a
CFwindow loading a page. That is working. What i would like to do
is be able to once the CFWindows closes, that it will destroy the
window instance, so that if I wanted to navigate to another page,
then back to that page, the window would be new. The window name is
static and needs to stay static if all possible.
Here is some test code i'm working on. I'm trying to have it
so that once the user hits the 'x' to hide the window, it will
destroy itself. Its going to be a file rename page, so I'm also
doing a page refresh in there. I can work on that later, but for
now, Im just trying to get the window to destroy.
Anyone have a suggestion on what to try?

I didn't know you could destroy windows, but I have been
getting around the same problem via javascript, and having it just
navigate the already created window to a CFM page that I pass
arguments to, allowing it to change the page in the cfwindow.
Example:
function navigate_CFWindow(sID, action) {
if (action == "edit") {
ColdFusion.navigate('SOPEditor.cfm?sop='+sID+'&action=edit',
'SOPEditor_body');
ColdFusion.Window.show('SOPEditor');
seems to work just fine :)

Richtext fails with coldfusion.ajax.submitForm in IE

Hi all,
got a cfform containing a cftextarea with richtext = true, invoking the FCKeditor. The form is inside a cflayoutarea and to maintain the page view I'm doing the calling forumAddPost to do the submission using coldfusion.ajax.submitform, processing it through a CFC method....shown below.
The CFC simply writes to the database and once returned, the handler navigates the layoutarea to the mainpage.
function forumAddPost() {
ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm('formnewpost', 'groups.cfc?method=forumNewPosts', forumAddPostHandler, errorHandler);
function forumAddPostHandler(result) {
ColdFusion.navigate('forum_showtopics_search.cfm?subject_id=<cfoutput>#group.forumid#</cf output>&searchtext=', 'MOD2');
function errorHandler(code, msg)
alert('error '+code+': '+msg);
This code works fine in Chrome or Firefox, but in IE it fails and closes IE down. If I remove the richtext option the posting works fine, so I've established it's something to do with the FCKeditor and the ajax posting method, but can't work out what?!
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
Phil

I was testing on IE8, Windows7 Starter. I don't have IE6 available to test on. Can test on IE7 a bit later on, but I have to fart-arse around with a VM to get it ready, so I'll do that after work.
I tested multiple submits both via clicking between the tabs within one main "request" as well as multiple entire requests (like via refreshing the whole browser window). I had no problems.
I think you're being quite optimistic ot expect AJAX stuff to work reliably on IE6. IE6 crashes. That's what it's most famous for doing. One needs to expect crashes if one pushes it (push it anywhere than out the window, that is). And your client company's IT dept should be lined up against a wall and shot for still running it. That's professionally negligent IMO. But... you probably don't need to be told that.
