IE auto content fit IFrame HACK

I ran into 'another' strange IE-browser behavior yesterday. It took me an hour of two to solve this iframe-height-problem.

If you call this.document.body.scrollHeight in an iframe twice, the first value is wrong, but the second value is okay.

Look at the example below:

OFC-CFC: Open Flash Chart - Coldfusion CFC Library

Posted At : March 9, 2009 5:48 PM | Posted By : Ernst van der Linden

I just released version 1.0 of OFC-CFC on Google Code.

OFC-CFC is a Coldfusion CFC Library which produces JSON-data for Open Flash Chart version 2.0

The real power of Open Flash Chart is, you can update charts using JSON-data. Which means. update your charts using e.g. JQuery or Spry, without reloading a page.

So you can create charts like:

Please let me know if you have any questions or remarks.

What do you think...? MySQL Toad

I just came across Toad for MySQL

Please let me know if you think it's worth a try and if it's a good replacement for MySQL WorkBench (which contains more bugs after every update!)

WHOIS your Daddy?

Posted At : February 8, 2009 5:46 PM | Posted By : Ernst van der Linden

I was playing around with querying a whois server. Actually I didn't know it was that easy...

Here's the code:

<cffunction name="getWhoisData" access="public" returntype="string" hint="I return data from a whois server">
    <cfargument name="whoisQuery" type="string" required="true" hint="e.g. 'domain microsoft' or '?' to show whois server help-commands">
    <cfargument name="whoisServer" type="string" required="false" hint="e.g. whois.ripe.net. Default server is whois.internic.net">

    <cfscript>
        var whoisData = '';
        var whoisClient = createObject("java","org.apache.commons.net.WhoisClient");

        // use default whois server?
        if ( not isDefined("arguments.whoisServer") ){
            arguments.whoisServer = whoisClient.DEFAULT_HOST;
        }

        try {
            whoisClient.connect(arguments.whoisServer);
            whoisData = whoisClient.query(arguments.whoisQuery);
            whoisClient.disconnect();
        } catch (Any exception) {
            whoisData = exception.message;
        }

        return whoisData;
    </cfscript>
</cffunction>

Some examples:

<cfoutput>
    <h1>? [whois.internic.net]</h1>
    <pre>#getWhoisData('?')#</pre>
    <h1>domain microsoft.com [whois.internic.net]</h1>
    <pre>#getWhoisData('domain microsoft.com')#</pre>
    <h1>=microsoft.com [whois.internic.net]</h1>
    <pre>#getWhoisData('=microsoft.com')#</pre>
    <h1>registrar TUCOWS INC. [whois.internic.net]</h1>
    <pre>#getWhoisData('registrar TUCOWS INC.')#</pre>
    <h1>-G -B 192.113.224.88 [whois.ripe.net]</h1>
    <pre>#getWhoisData('-G -B 192.113.224.88','whois.ripe.net')#</pre>
</cfoutput>

JS Calendar - ColdBox plugin

Posted At : October 28, 2008 5:20 PM | Posted By : Ernst van der Linden
Related Categories: ColdBox,Coldfusion

I've created a ColdBox plugin which makes use of JS Calendar of Dynarch.

LIVE SAMPLE (requested by Sana):

JS Calendar Sample

Usage:

<input type="text" id="startDate" name="startDate" value="" />
<img src="includes/img/icons/calendar.gif"
    id="startDate_trigger" style="cursor:pointer;" title="Date selector" />


<input type="text" id="endDate" name="endDate" value="" />
<img src="includes/img/icons/calendar.gif"
    id="endDate_trigger" style="cursor:pointer;" title="Date selector" />


<cfset calendar = getPlugin("Calendar",1)>
<cfset calendar.setInputField('startDate','startDate_trigger','T1')>
<cfset calendar.setInputField('endDate','endDate_trigger')>

<cfoutput>#calendar.render()#</cfoutput>

Downloads:

JS Calendar (unzip and place it in your includes directory. It should look like this: {YOURAPP}/includes/jscalendar/..)

ColdBox Plugin (without JS Calendar!)
