CFFILEUPLOAD - Javascript errors are being thrown

Report · Oct 21, 2010

We've just installed CF9 (with updater 1) on our new DEV box and I was going through the new features and am stumped on the CFFILEUPLOAD one.

I created a page and added this code

When I pull it up in the browser (FF3.6 or IE8), nothing shows up. Nada. I have the latest flash installed. Using Firebug I can see that two javascript errors are actually being thrown:

Coldfusion is not defined: ColdFusion.Ajax.importTag('CFFILEUPLOAD');

and

Coldfusion is not defined };ColdFusion.Event.registerOnLoad(_cf_fileupload_init_1287722891141);

I've seen several examples online (Camden, et al) and all examples show that just the line will pop the box.

What's the problem?

Ah. Looking at the source I can see it's trying to load a bunch of stuff from /CFIDE/...

Since we run multiple sites on this box, have you guys just been mapping that directly as a virtual from the docroot? Seems kludgy.

How is having a mapping to resources you want to use "kludgy"? Is it because you don't think you should need to have to go and create the virtual directory in every site? It's not like you'll need to do it any more than once...

You could also copy the relevant dir and use <cfajaximport> to point to it.

You'll still need to do this in each instance you want to use those resources, but at least that way it's in your code, not in your config, so only needs to be done once.
