This article overviews a number of undocumented functions which can be performed on ColdFusion sessions to extend their usage.

Explains some problems that developers are having with the Google Web Accelerator. The tools speeds up your surfing experience by trying to pre-fetch all the content for links on the page. That way whichever one you click it already has the content.

Allow for file selection so that a user could pick a data file on the server. now supports recursion (as of CFMX7), so getting the files is easy. Getting them into is a bit trickier because the returned query cannot be passed to as is ( needs a flat query, not hierarchical data).

Small example to create an Oracle stored procedure and a ColdFusion page to run it, so for the benefit of anyone else looking for a simple example for testing...

In this Macrochat, Macromedia Architect and Technical Lead for ColdFusion, Tom Jordahl discusses ColdFusion event gateways.

ColdFusion has long been the easiest way to create applications that respond to web requests from web browsers. ColdFusion MX 7 opens up a whole new world of applications that can respond to events and messages, from Instant Messaging (such as XMPP/Jabber and Lotus Sametime) to mobile phone SMS text messages, to Internet socket requests, to system events, and much more.

Document indexing and searching has always been one of the hidden gems in ColdFusion. Since the early days of ColdFusion, the Verity search technology has been an integral part of creating dynamic, high-function web applications. With the release of ColdFusion MX 7, the ColdFusion development team completely rearchitected this feature from the ground up, using the latest Verity K2 Enterprise release. With this upgrade, ColdFusion MX 7 takes advantage of the latest document filters, features, and capabilities of the best-of-breed Verity technology.

The look of Flash Forms can be controlled using styles. To help fine tune style selections, [I] threw this quick and dirty form together.

Note that [I] am using the setStyle() method to set styles programmatically at runtime, but styles are typically defined in the style attribute.
