I’ve been developing ColdFusion applications for about 20 years and sometimes I feel like I’m still learning. On occasion it takes stumbling across a feature to realize how something works. Consider the following code: <cfoutput> #NumberFormat(1.5)# </cfoutput> Now… some people might look at that and think, “of course it’s going to display 2.” Honestly, I had no idea. numberFormat() without a mask will round numbers. That seems strange to me, frankly, but live and learn. Try it for yourself. Anyone […]

How to solve a problem that may not be obvious: the CFML image tags and functions that accept a URL won’t follow a redirect, but instead fail with this cryptic error.
In Coldfusion Builder (my version is 3.2), there is a built-in option for a “Dark” theme. I happen to prefer “Dark-Mode” themes, especially on my laptop and phones for battery savings and I find it easier on my eyes. The dark theme can be applied using the following eight-step sequence: 1. Window (from-File-menu) – Choose 2. Preferences (option-at-the-bottom) -Choose 3. General (tree-item) – Choose 4. Appearance ( sub-tree-item) – Choose 5. Enable theme (option) – Enable 6. Theme: (option) – Select “Dark” 7. Apply, or Apply-And-Close (Button) – Press 8. […]
