What is a "cfm" file??

I foud a file containing som javascripts called cfm. What does this cfm mean and is it possible to use it in a regular jsp page??

.cfm is the MIME extension for the ColdFusion Server Application Programming Interface originally from Allaire and now offered through Adobe/Macromedia as ColdFusion MX. Before you simply pull out any Javascript from from the page, you are going to need to make sure that is not nested within the actual CFML. For example, CF allows you to build Javascript dynamically by nesting it within a <cfoutput> tag and using # signs to dynamically output server-side variable constructs. For example:
<cfset x = "20">
<script language ="javascript">
<cfoutput>
for (i = 1; i < #x#; i++) {
alert(i);
</cfoutput>
</script>
The variable x in this case is not being set via Javascript, but by the the CF server. Check through the JS code to make sure this is not happening or you're going to get frustrated when the code does not work.

  • PDF Forms Saved as CFM Files

    OK, this is kind of a bizarre question and I suspect it has something to do with my having Master Collection installed on my machine and a file typing issue.  But I can't confirm for sure . . . so if anyone has any ideas to point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
    I'm running Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) with Master Collection CS5 installed.
    I'm a real estate agent and our MLS has forms for us to fill out when writing an offer to purchase for someone.  When we create a profile for our buyer, we fill out their basic information in a web form (Name, Address, Property Address, Purchase Price, etc. etc.).  Then we select (again through another web form) the forms we want to populate with the appropriate information.  Once we hit submit, we're given the option to open each form individually and then fill in other parts of the forms, etc.  The page that controls that is a Cold Fusion page  i.e. pagename.cfm followed by arguments that tell it what form to open and where to find the intormation to fill in.  When I've filled in the form and go to save it, on any machine that doesn't have Dreamweaver, etc. installed it saves those forms as a PDF file.  On my machine however, with everything installed, it wants to save them as CFM files.  Now I know they're actually PDF files and if I forget to rename it during the initial save, I can go in and change the extension and it opens in Acrobat just fine.  But I'd like to NOT have to remember to rename them everytime I save a form. 
    So again, I think it's a file typing/extension issue . . . but I'm not sure where to start looking.  And I've never messed with that stuff in Windows 7 either.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.
    John

    Came here to complain about this maddening feature. Why it doesn't save the PDF out to a separate instance of the document is beyond me. PLENTY of us want to save the PDF without the layers, and want the PSD separate.
    "Oh good, I've completed this document.... let me just save it out as a PDF for client delivery and... Now all the work is gone."
    Genius, Adobe, genius. But it's cool--we'll just keep paying out the nose on a subscription basis with no fix for small errors like this.

  • How to execute/call a cfm file in an Oracle stored proc?

    Hello everyone! I'm quite new to Oracle PL/SQL stored
    procedure. Is it possible and how do you call/execute a coldfusion
    file from an Oracle stored procedure? I know that cfm files can
    call stored procedures. How about the other way around? Any ideas
    or suggestions is much appreciated. Thanks..

    I'm having a hard time trying to think of why you would
    actually want to do something like that. However, all that aside,
    the short answer is no. The database has no real "knowledge" about
    ColdFusion, and there is no way for PL/SQL to "execute" anything on
    the ColdFusion server. Maybe if you were more specific as to what
    you were actually trying to do rather than such a generic question,
    someone might be able to help you find an alternative.

  • Unable to open .cfm files

    I need to be able to open .cfm files, which were no problem in Windows. However, since switching to iMac, I am not able to open the .cfm files in Pages, Word for Mac, using Adobe Reader, etc.
    Does anyone else have the same problem and/or know the solution?
    Thank you for any help/suggestions you may have.

    To get a definitive answer, tell us exactly what you have tried and what then happened.
    Have you tried simply dragging the file onto Pages or opening via Pages Open dialogue?
    If it is a ColdFusion Markup File (there are other possibilities) just open it as a text file in TextEdit or some other text editor such as TextWrangler (free), *iText Express* (free) or TextMate (shareware).

  • Index.cfm file

    Hi ,
    I am new to coldfusion and i would like to have the following
    items clarified.
    1) Why we need to have Index.cfm file
    2) What is the diff between Application.cfm and
    Application.CFC
    I removed the index.cfm file from directory and accessed the
    application and I don't find any difference
    Pls advice.
    Thanks,
    Rams

    Just to clarify/expand on the previous answer - the index.cfm
    file allows you to access a URL without actually specifying the
    file name. That is, if you point your browser to www.mydomain.com/
    then the server will look for a default file in the root directory.
    The default file is typically index.html or default.html as stated
    previously. On a web server using CF files it is often index.cfm.
    The actual name of the default file is specified in the web server
    such as IIS on Windows servers.
    If you specify a URL such as the above without specifying the
    filename and there is no default file it will produce an error.
    If you do specify a filename in the URL -
    www.mydomain.com/main.cfm - then the existence of the default file
    is not an issue.

  • Duplicating and editing .cfm files programmatically

    hey there,
    is it possible to copy .cfm files and edit their content at
    the same time? like say updating an embedded query or changing
    headlines?

    could you point me a in a direction?
    One possible way, in very general language:
    Assuming you want to do this programmatically. Your would
    code a file
    read which puts the content into some type of string
    variable. You
    would then code searches and string manipulations to modify
    the text as
    desired. You would then write the file with the updated
    content.
    In order to get more specific suggestions and help. Let us
    know what
    you are actually trying to do, and what tools with which you
    would like
    to do it.

  • Configure DW CC to display .txt files like .cfm files

    Earlier DW versions allowed the user to edit the MMDocumentTypes.xml and Extensions.txt files to customize the color coding of file types.  On DW CC 13.2 I'm trying to display .txt files in Code View identical to .cfm files, but editing MMDocumentTypes.xml and Extensions.txt  no longer seems to have any effect.  Here's the app note that used to work...

  • What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

    What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
    I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
    Briefly, the bug:
    I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
    I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
    The workaround:
    If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
    I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
    I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
    So, either
    1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
    2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
    or
    3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
    I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi David
    I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
    So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
    Case 1
    I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
    Case 2
    Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer.  The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
    Case 3
    If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
    I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
    Thanks in advance

  • How do I add a movie from my laptop to iTunes, what should be the file extension.

    How do I add a movie from my laptop to iTunes, what should be the file extension.

    The extension is usually .mov, .m4v, or .mp4.   But you can't just change the extension.  The movies have to be encoded in a particular fomat.  Anything downloaded from iTunes or plays in Quicktime player will be fine.

  • Can't see .cfm files in Design view

    Can't see .cfm files in Design view in Dreamweaver CC.

    Hi pkregel,
    Do these files open as intended in Dreamweaver CS6? I am not a CF expert but I am guessing that if you are able to open the files, then you should be able to see them in both the views. Can you post a screenshot as well?
    Thanks,

  • When saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?

    when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
    thank you
    dovid

    It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
    Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
    Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step.

  • What is a imoviemobile file?

    What is a imoviemobile file? in imovie for iphone i'v generated an my projetc.imoviemobile file and i can't read it?

    I don't know if this is a few years too late but to get into a iMovieMoble file you first need to get it onto your computer if you haven't done already which it looks like you have.  The latest versions of iMovie won't interface anymore with imovie for moble, this is going to be fixed someday they say but in the mean time if you want to get your clip out you first want to copy the iMovieMoble project and then change the extention to .zip  This will then allow you to extract the zip into a folder and inside are all your renders and clips that go into making that project. I wish there were a faster way like the right click and say show package contence but it's a different kind of file than that.

  • What is a dmg file?

    What is a *.dmg file?  I am showing one in my Finder called ABEIDSNCS4_LS1.dmg and it's an image file.  My concern is that the size is 1.16 GB. What could this be and can I delete it?
    Thank you.

    .dmg files are Disk Images. Basically they act like a separate volume on a hard drive. Often when you download an application from the Internet it comes on a disk image file. Once you have run the installer, you can delete them by dragging them to the Trash and emptying the Trash. Another way would be to hold down the control key on your keyboard when you click on the .dmg file and select Move to Trash from the menu that appears. Again you'll want to empty it.
    Best of luck.

  • Printing web page with select tags in IE9 and a .cfm file-only the original selected option prints

    My web page has a select tag and cfselect tags and when I print the page with a different option other than the originally selected option the print for both types of select tags reverts back to the original selection and ignores the new selection.  This happens in IE9 and .cfm files but not when the page is printed in IE8 or IE7 modes (tried in the F12 Developer Tools.)  It also needs to be a .cfm file.  FireFox printed the pages correctly for any combination.
    This was done on a Dell and ThinkCentre computers under Windows 7.  Also, I was able to reproduce the same problem on an different university web site where a selection box would revert back to the original selection for printing on a .cfm page and would print properly on a .PHP page at the same site.
    For my site, I used a print button which calls print() and right clicked and chose print and got the same results no matter which method was used.  I only had the right click method on the third party web site.
    I know this is probably a bit narrow an issue but, any help would be appreciated.

    It appears that it is probably an IE9 bug.
    I simplified the problem by turning the page source taken from the brouser of the original .cfm into an html file and found that it would still print improperly.
    When I eliminated the various parts of the file I found that it would print correctly only when I removed the first line, the "DOC type" line.
    The page will print the newly selected option but then I lose the style sheet.
    If it does not work in an HTML file it must be IE.  It is not the .cfm.  The reason that it did not work for .cfm files, is that they always have a "DOC type" statement.
    I have put the issue into an MSDN forum in addition to the one mentioned previously.
