It's such a simple thing but I actually googled this because I couldn't think of it offhand.

CODE:
  1. <cfif len(str)>
  2.      <cfoutput>#str#</cfoutput>
  3. </cfif>

if str has zero characters, len(str) will return 0, mimicking behaviour of false. Cool!

So I said I was done with school. That's not completely true. I am taking one more course this semester, but I'm not attending it; I am only doing the work.

The CDSource inspired ColdFusion site is for the ColdFusion course I am taking. Feel free to play around with it, but the cart isn't working yet so don't do that.

The admin section has no policing yet, so you can check that out too. Go ahead and add products.

I had fun writing the CSS for it. I am not a designer, but I like bringing design to reality. This was one of the cleanest stylesheet that I have written, although it was not difficult considering that there really isn't that much to style.

I'm slowing getting into this JavaScript filled Web2.0 world before me. I avoided JavaScript like the plague before. Now it's fun to make little things dynamic, such as the field on the product-type change to CD. So so very simple, but it makes me inexplicably giddy.

Handling 404 Errors for a Migrated Blog by mi hermano, Joshua, displays my brother's particular genius and allows the entire world to see it not only in the ColdFusion Developer's Journal e-zine, but in the printed magazine as well.

Congratulations, Josh! Wahoo!
