A few Google searches for products should disabuse him of that notion. Google does just find indexing pages that don't have them. That said, they probably do make some difference, even if it's not a significant one, so if he wants them you can include them. But in any case I'd recommend using the primary key in addition, and actually using that for your lookups. It'll work a little better, and will allow you to have duplicate item names and brand names if any exist.

Changing that from "macromedia" to "adobe" will almost certainly not work. There are plenty of references to "macromedia" throughout the product that will probably never change.

This: org.tempuri.FindResourceDetailForDayResponseFindResourceDetailForDayResult@13d9efc is a Java reference to an object in memory. That object probably contains the XML, as well as methods to interact with that XML. What do you get when you use CFDUMP to view FindResourceDetailForDayResponse? To interact with the XML once you get it, CF lets you treat XML documents as if they were nested arrays and structures. So, you can iterate over them using native CF operations and functions. You can also use XML DOM API calls like you would in many other environments. Finally, you can use XPath to match nodes anywhere in your XML.

The way we used to solve this sort of thing in the old days was to use RTF. You can use Word to create an RTF file which will essentially have the same layouts as a native DOC file. But RTF is just text, so you could open that RTF file in Notepad and make the right changes. Unfortunately, that's kind of a royal pain to work with, but life was hard in the old days. Nowadays, you might find it easier to use a Java library like POI: http://poi.apache.org/hwpf/quick-guide.html I haven't actually used POI with Word documents, but before we got CFSPREADSHEET it was common to use this with Excel.

Those characters are automatically escaped by search engines for SEO purposes, and by servers when receiving the data (in your action page). A well-formed URL is much more important than a human-readable one, in that one will work in browsers and the other may not. If that's not an acceptable answer to your employer, you could alternatively replace spaces with dashes or underscores, but then you'd have to make sure to differentiate those dashes or underscores from actual dashes or underscores you have in those fields. There's no function to automatically replace spaces with dashes or underscores, so you'd have to do that yourself, and there's no function to automatically replace dashes or underscores with spaces in your action page, so you'd have to do that yourself too.

The URLEncodedFormat function does what it says on the tin: it encodes strings so that they don't include any characters which are either not acceptable in URLs or are URL metacharacters. Spaces, for example, aren't acceptable for use within URLs even though most modern browsers let you use them - the browser automatically encodes for you. Not all browsers do this, of course, so you want to do it to avoid the problem in the first place. Metacharacters are characters that have some special meaning within a URL, like ? or &. If you had a string containing one of those, the server might get very confused when receiving it in the URL. And you're welcome!

Thats why I thought, along with page titles which are dynamically driven also, that the item name needed to be included in the url as a parameter. A lot of SEO advice falls in the "diminishing returns" category. It definitely doesn't "need" to be included, and if your page content is relevant to the search query, it should come up in searches. Embedding the search terms in the URL might add a tiny smidgen of relevance, but not a significant amount.

You could store the generated menu in memory, then overwrite it when it's changed. For example, assuming everyone gets the same menu, you could write it to the Application scope, then in the code that processes database changes you could add a bit that writes the new value to the Application scope. And again, you don't even need to store arrays and structures, you could just store the generated HTML/CSS/JS/whatever directly, if you wanted to. That would not only prevent having to run the query again, but would also prevent having to build the menu from the data. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software ... View more
