XMLSearch and empty arrays with namespaces
I ran into an odd issue today and I'm documenting it here for my own future knowledge. When searching an XML document with defined namespaces on elements, XMLSearch wasn't returning any results. Take the following example:Still ACE'ing after all these years
Just got my renewal email from the wonderful folks at Adobe. Looks like I'm good for another year as an Adobe Community Expert. I'm hoping to post more smaller tips and tricks here on the blog, and hopefully get even more involved in the Community this year. And hell, I might even make it to MAX (all fingers crossed).
Why I love ColdFusion
Because my first use of the ColdFusion AutoSuggest control took me 10 minutes to implement. I was doing a cfselect with a bind to load all cities in a state. Unfortunately, with more than 5,000 cities in some states the application was getting seriously bogged down with huge asynchronous http responses in the background.
Ten minutes later I have a solution in production and customers are happy.
