I'm publishing to WebHelp using RoboHelp for Word. I'm getting random spaces breaking up words throughout the manual. In other words the text looks like this... This is a sa mple sentence. Has anyone come across this before or know of a solution?

I've attempted to use trim() im my SQL statement but It throws an error saying its not a valid function. This isnt the statement but this is the context im using it in. <cfquery datasource="#datasources.DATADSN#"> INSERT INTO dbo.People (Christian) <cfif IsDefined("FORM.Christian") AND #FORM.Christian# NEQ ""> trim('#FORM.Christian#') <cfelse> NULL </cfif> </cfquery> If you cant use it at this point, where can you use it?

Any guess why my tables print about 3pt left of the actual page margin when I run the SSL Doc output using Style mapping. The text will be at "0" or the margin and then the table will start further to the left, which is past the actual page margin. I can't find anything in the css styles. Is this normal?

Hi all, I have a problem with recordset paging using a recordset from a stored procedure in MSSQL 2000. The page is working fine without the recordset paging functionality. I.e. it returns a recordset and displays the information on screen as expected. However, as soon as I add this functionality in, the page returns an error from the database server stating that a parameter was not supplied to the stored procedure. I suspect that this could be to do with the Requery command in the function. Has anyone come across this problem before and any ideas how to get around it? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ben.

Hello everyone- I'm trying to use a CFINPUT/FILE field in a CFFORM: <CFINPUT TYPE="file" NAME="scanArticleLocation" class="sans9"> Clicking on the Browse button appears to populate the text input box with a valid path, but when the field "scanArticleLocation" is passed on by the form, I get this: <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="ScanArticleLocation" VALUE="C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\servers\coldfusion\SERVER-INF\temp\wwwroot-tmp\neotmp12527.tmp"> Wether I click on the form's "Browse" button to specify the file's path, or manually enter it, the result is the same (only the .tmp file name changes). Anyone ever come across this one? Thanks in advance... - Tom Tedeschi

I have the attached code in my Application.cfc. But when I try to open my index.cfm to test my header and footer I get the following error: Element COMPANYNAME is undefined in REQUEST. My index.cfm contains the following code: <cfoutput> Hello!!!! Welcome to #REQUEST.companyName# </cfoutput> What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

I am creating an activity that involves a drag and drop activity. I have defined dragItems and dragTargets. The dragTargets have rollover events that are triggered when the cursor is over them. However, this obviously is never triggered when I am dragging a dragItem on top of them. Is there a workaround to this that generates the same visual confirmation that the cursor is currently over a dragTarget when I am dragging a dragItem? thanx in advance

bigString to Big String - how do I detect index of upper case? Is there a way to detect, insert space and replace the upper case letters in a string?

<select name="workshop10" size="1"> <option value="" <cfif workshop10 IS ''>selected</cfif>>Choose One <option value="Private" <cfif workshop10 IS 'Private'>selected</cfif>>Private <option value="Semi_Private" <cfif workshop10 IS 'Semi_Private'>selected</cfif>>Semi_Private <option value="Workshop" <cfif workshop10 IS 'Workshop'>selected</cfif>>Workshop</option> </select> The above code works well but in mySQL the option values are not accepted while updating the DB unless the option values have a underscore character included. See above (Semi_Private). I would prefer not to have to use the underscore character as this leads to a lot of coding to remove this character on output. Does anyone know why I cannot just use (Semi Private) as an option value and I am not well versed with mySQL. I have the datatype as varchar(255).

Is there a way - short of hindreds of lines of cfic cfelseif statemements, to turn numbers into words?

Is there a way to set up a "survey" (I am not sure what it is exactly called, so) to see how useful help topics are? For example, there are sites like amazon.com and possibly here too(not sure) that the reader can “vote” on a topic and its useful or helpful-ness. I would like this function as a beginner roboHelp developer at work. I want to say something like “was this helpful to you?” Yes No And it will tally up yeses and No’s.. or something like Rate this topic 1-5 stars… etc If there is a way to do this in HTML, let me know that as well as I can use that in my other job for their website. I mainly want to know if roboHelp had this kind of functionality Thanks; David

Hi. I am generating printed documentation of chapters in my help file that contain popups. When I check the printed documentation, it only contains the topics contained in the table of contents - none of the popups were included. The particular chapter that I am printing, contains images of forms. I have defined each of the fields in the image as hotspots using RoboHelp's "Shed" functionality, so that when the user clicks on a field, its description is displayed on the screen as a popup. I tried searching Peter Grainge's site to see if there was any information about how to get them into the printed documentation, but unfortunately our firewall is blocking the scripts that are being run on his site. I am using RoboHelp Office X5 ver 5.0.1, MS Office 2000 SP 3 and the primary layout is in Winhelp 2000. Any help that can be provided would be appreciated. Thanks Bryan

Hello! We have an in-house application that currently has an online Help module, but our Customer Support staff cannot stand the web-based Rich Text editor that we selected. Their content loses formatting when copy/pasting from -- say, MS Word into the RT Editor. Does RoboHelp have an RT editor that can be integrated into an existing system like the many HTML/JS RT editors out there? Tx! /al

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm working on a project that someone else started. I have a main movie called "interface" with navigation off to the bottom right. When one of the nav items is clicked on (for example, "contact"), the contact.swf movie is then loaded on the left side of the site (via an empty movie clip called "holder"). Right now there's some fairly complicated actionscript that does this and I've just created a form page that I now need to perform a similar function without all of that actionscript. Basically on the contact page (contact.swf) there's an Email Us movie clip that performs as a button, I'd like for that contact us page to change from contact.swf to contact_form.swf when clicked. In other words I'd like the empty movie clip "holder" to play contact_form.swf instead of contact.swf. Can someone help me with the correct syntax? I was thinking it was holder.loadmovie, etc. but shouldn't there be some on(release) function as well? I'm confused, plea

I have no idea what happened, but now I can't double-click to open topics. I can right-click and select Open with WYSIWYG. The only thing I can figure out, is an automatic Windows update occured, then I couldn't open topics by double-clicking. Please help, this is such a drag!

I'm dynamically generating a list of items (say, vegetables), each with a numeric ID, and each with a checkbox. The user selects the vegetables he wants, and clicks the submit button. From the selected vegetable ID's, I want to do an insert into another table (say, customer orders.) I can't find any clear examples of how to do this. The form can submit to another .cfm page or self-submit, doesn't matter to me. Also, Flash forms are not allowed on my site. Help, please! Thanks.

Hi all I am having difficulties with an app that i downloaded from asfusion.com. The apps url is http://www.asfusion.com/apps/realestate/ Basically once i have downloaded the zip and unpacked it etc... i am getting an error. Attribute validation error for tag CFFORMITEM. The value of the attribute TYPE, which is currently "script", must be one of the values: HRULE,HTML,TEXT,VRULE,SPACER. They have set the cfformitem type ="script" which as far as i know is an invalid type. Can someone please assist me here, if i try other types, it falls over. Where does the type="script" come from. The zip file can be downloaded from the site. Thanks again Papps

Hello, I'm using XSL to format a large XML set I get from a webservice. So far it's been working great but I need to format the date so that is looks something like this: Sunday 05/21/2006 8:00 PM rather than this: 2006-05-21T20:00:00.0000000-04:00 I know you can format dates in the XSL but I have no idea how and all the info I can find on the net is for XSL savvy people. Which I am not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's what I have as an xsl. Note that eventDate is the param I need to format.

Hi, After changing the maximum number of connections to 1, I can no longer enter the coldfusion administrator. He allows me to enter the password, and then continues, but after showing only the top frame on the left, the coldfusion service hangs. I use coldfusion mx 6.1 on windows 2003 server and IIS. Kind regards, Thomas

Hi, I'd be grateful if somebody could please help me out with this problem. I actually want to write the following using the IIF statement: <cfif temp gt 0> <cfset label = "Over"> <cfelseif temp lt 0> <cfset label = "Under"> <cfelse> <cfset label = "-"> </cfif> Note If I output the variable label using the cfif, cfelseif and cfelse, it gives me the correct output, i.e. either "-", Over, or Under. I tried the following to rewrite the above statement using the iif function: <cfset label = iif(temp eq 0,DE("-"),(iif(temp gt 0,DE("Over"),DE("Under"))))> Now, when temp eq 0, it works fine. However, when temp is lt 0, it throws me an error message saying variable Under is undefined. And when temp is gt 0, I get the same error message, but in this case it says variable Over is undefined. However, if I replace Over and Under by 1 or 0 (i.e. integers) it works perfect! Any idea how to get the output either Over or Under using the iif

Ive started writing the 'hitTest' code for the game, i wasnt sure how, since i hadnt' tried it before- but after a short tutorial it's simple enough. However, i am running into problems. Currently, my stage is set up with a ship, that fires bullets, at the top of the stage, i have a long movie clip that will act as a 'wall', when the bullets collide with the wall they should stop moving, and 'blow up'. I have my animations, and all the fun stuff down- but my hit test isnt working one bit! here is the code for the hit test- it runs in my main _root enterframe loop. thanks.

Hi, Some of my movies have what I consider "gratuitous" tooltips. The problem is mostly in Windows when I record opening files. The file properties pop us and just get in the way of what I'm trying to demo. Is there any way to not record them or turn them off? Thanks! Trudie
