More often than not, you're placing ColdFusion (or any server-side language) code within HTML to set pre-existing values of a form. You can cut down on tons of excess server-side code by setting those values using Javascript. Here are a few examples of how you can use jQuery with ColdFusion to set form values.

We're in the final stretch. We've got Apache, ColdFusion and MySQL up and running. Now we need a way to write some actual ColdFusion code in Linux. For that, we need the Eclipse IDE and a few plug-ins, primarily CFEclipse.

Since ColdFusion 6, it's been possible to run on 64-bit systems with 64-bit JVMs, just not officially. (If you're nice, I'll post how later.) 64-bit support was officially introduced for ColdFusion with version 8, but only for Solaris SPARC. As of the 8.0.1 release, Adobe gave us offical support for 64-bit on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

I've always appreciated the effort that Stephen Collins put into creating The ACME Guide, which takes you through the steps of setting up a local ColdFusion development environment. This is my walk through of setting up the latest and greatest ACME stack under 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04.

I'm 2 weeks into my new job and I just started working on a project that requires Ajax. After using CFAjax for so long, I figured I'd give AjaxCFC a go. I've heard nothing but good things about it, but I've been bashing my head against the wall for a while with this error. Took me forever to find the real cause.

Tomorrow is my last day at Unitrin Specialty. I've accepted a position at Study Island, a company that provides ColdFusion backed test preparations for standardized state tests. I look forward to working with a new team starting next week, but it's hard leaving a place that's felt like home for the last 2 years.
