I was browsing through some tickets in Jira today when I found a couple of bugs related to tables not displaying correctly in MSIE. When I found an example, it basically looked like a <TR> tag had not been closed correctly. When I viewed the source HTML, imagine how surprised I was to find a <cfif> statement gumming up the works.
Earlier today, Ray Camden posted a quick ColdFusion-centric solution to showing only the Nth records of a query. His solution is fine, but I wonder how it would perform for large queries on a site under high load. Here's a database-centric solution that pulls back every Nth record, allowing CF to just display the final record set.
Since I'm so late in covering the rest of my MAX trip, I'll just hit the highlights and link to extended coverage elsewhere.
The first day of MAX was so very interesting. Even though there were more attendees than last year, the layout of the Moscone West convention center made for a much better experience. The Unconference sessions that ran alongside the official sessions weren't just the icing on the cake. Sometimes they were the cake (not a lie).
Before MAX even got underway, I spent an afternoon at Adobe HQ with a bunch of other ColdFusion die hards. Apparently, the plethora of ColdFusion sessions available at MAX weren't enough for some of us. Afterwards, beer!
First, let me apologize for the recent lack of posts. I've been working on a number of projects at work and I just haven't been able to find the time for blogging. I just uploaded some tweaks to the site's layout. Please let me know if anything's out of whack.
If you're going to MAX this year, make sure to check out the Bird of a Feather (BoF) meetings Monday night (11/17). These are informal, 50 minute meetings where we can discuss various issues and get to know each other while eating pizza and having a few beers.
I've been working on a new feature for my company's main application. Basically I need to associate some data with a list of students. The list of students is generated from existing class rosters. Since students can be in more than one class, it's possible the same student gets selected twice. So how can I quickly remove any duplicates and store only the unique list of students?
I got an e-mail from Josh Berling at RoundArch in Chicago. He's looking for Flex and/or J2EE developers wanting full time or contract work. I met him at last year's MAX and seems like a great guy to work with. He's definitely a Flex guru and the work I saw was really cutting edge.
This morning, John Campos from the Dallas Flex User Group announced that "Miller & Associates is throwing TexFlex, a Dallas Flex Camp in conjunction with Adobe." It's only $25 to attend and there's only 300 spots, so sign up ASAP.
