Question

Bootstrap

I design my first front end site using bootstrap.  I then export the bootstrap file into a regular HTML extension. I open the HTML file in dream Weaver and save that file as a.CFM extension. When I go to preview the page, all of the behaviors, the scroll, the modal all no longer works.  When I sAve the file extension back to an HTML file, everything works. Is there a method to allow the same behaviors to work under a cold fusion extensions as it does with the regular HTML extension? Does cold fusion work with bootstrap and JavaScript behaviors?

    The page has to be served from the CF server. If you're working local, it will be 127.0.0.1:8500/yourpage. I write pages using Bootstrap and then add the coldfusion afterwards. Everything works as it should.

    When it comes to CF and HTML/JS/CSS, what the ColdFusion server is doing is basically parroting the HTML/JS/CSS that you write and adds dynamic HTML according to the CF instructions that you provide.

    If it works in HTML but not in CF, then there is most likely an error that is breaking the JS/CSS.  Place all code within a CFTRY/CFCATCH and use CFDUMP to put the #cfcatch# on screen to see if the break is in CF.  If nothing appears, then check your console to see if there is a JS error that is breaking.

    HTH,

    Sure, CF will work with Bootstrap. But the model for doing this kind of thing typically involves writing services in CF using CFCs and having your JS client app invoke those services and use JSON results from those services. I'm not really sure what you were trying to do from your description, but it doesn't sound like it fits in that model.
