Hidden form fields can be used in a good way for avoiding the spambots.  Spambots  are automated computer programs designed to assist in the sending of spam. If we have a hidden field in the form, user cannot fill the hidden field, but the spambots can do fill the hidden fields. So for avoiding this, we can have a hidden field say, <cfinput type="hidden" name="spm_inputcheck" value=" "> and we can have a condition like: <cfif form.spm_inputcheck is " ">     perform the actions.. <cfelse>     abort </cfif>

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function () {     $(window).scroll(function () {         var top = $(this).scrollTop(),             sheight = $(document).height(),             scrll = (top / sheight);         var position = (scrll)*100;             $("#progress_bar").attr('value', position);      });  }); </script> <progress id="progress_bar" value="0" max="80" style="position:fixed; top:15px;" ></progress> <br /><br /><br /> text1<br /><br /> text2<br /><br /> text3<br /><br /> text4<br /><br /> text5<br /><br /> text1<br /><br /> text2<br /><br /> text3<br /><br /> text4<br /><br /> text5<br /><br /> text1<br /><br /> text2<br /><br

In Some of the browsers, jquery mobile dialogue box will close automatically without clicking on the close button. For fixing the same issue, we can set a timeout so that it won't close automatically. for example, we can set the timeout using the code: $(document).ready(function () {    setTimeout(function () {     $.mobile.changePage('#errorDialog', { transition: 'pop', role: 'dialog' }); }, 100); }); Code example: <link rel=stylesheet href=http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0/jquery.mobile-1.0.min.css /> <script src=http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.min.js></script> <script src=http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0/jquery.mobile-1.0.min.js> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () {    setTimeout(function () {     $.mobile.changePage('#errorDialog', { transition: 'pop', role: 'dialog' }); }, 100); }); </script> </head>  <bo

For fixing cyrillic character issues, we can use the ways given below: way 1:  Keep <cfprocessingdirective pageenc oding = "utf-8"> line so that issue will get resolved. For example, <cfcomponent displayname="testCyrillic" hint="Replace special characters"> <!---To Fix Cyrillic character issue : starts---> <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding = "utf-8"> Way 2:  Create jdbc datasource and add use Unicode=yes&charactorEncoding=UTF-8 with JDBC URL. Driver class as usual:  com.mysql.jdbc.Driver For example, jdbc:mysql:// localhost:3306/mySite? useUnicode=yes& charactorEncoding=UTF-8

For creating password protected PDF documents, we can use the tag <cfdocument> with attributes userpassword,encryption . For example, the below code will create a PDF document which is protected by a password 'password'. <cfdocument format="PDF"  userpassword="password" encryption="128-bit">     <cfdocumentsection>         This document is password protected     </cfdocumentsection> </cfdocument>

For finding the execution time of particular code blocks, we can use the ColdFusion function GetTickCount().  Without enabling the debugging information in the Administrator, we ca use the metho d GetTickCount() for finding the time used for executing a partcul ar code block. For example,  <cfset t1 = GetTickCount()> code block begin s.. ------------------------------------- code bloc k ends. <cfset  t2= GetTickCount()> <cfset t otal=t2-t1> <cfoutput> Time take n for execution was #total#</cfoutput >    

<cfscript> adminObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator"); createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.administrator").login("CF admin password"); myObj = createObject("component","cfide.adminapi.datasource"); </cfscript> <cfdump var="#myObj.getDatasources()#">
