Here's a little test form to show how things work
<cfoutput>
<cfif structkeyexists(form, "f1")>
#form.f1#
</cfif>
<cfif structkeyexists(form, "f2")>
<cfset myvar = rereplacenocase(form.f2,"<[^>]*>", "", "All")>
#myvar#
<hR>
</cfif>
<cfif structkeyexists(form, "f3")>
I'm an injected iframe<br>
#form.f3#<br>
That's bad ;(
<hR>
</cfif>
<cfif structkeyexists(form, "f4")>
<cfset myvar = rereplacenocase(form.f4,"<[^>]*>", "", "All")>
No iframe here
#myvar#
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
<hr>
<form name="1" method="post" action="index.cfm">
<input type="text" name="f1" value="<script>alert('oops')</script>"><br>
<input type="text" name="f2" value="<script>alert('i am harmless')</script>"><br>
<input type="text" name="f3" value="<iframe src=http://www.google.com style=width:200px;height:200px;font-size:.7em></iframe>"><br>
<input type="text" name="f4" value="<iframe src=http://www.google.com style=width:200px;height:200px;font-size:.7em></iframe>">">
<input type="submit">
</form>
important...if you use the global script protection setting in CF8 it does -NOT- prevent the iframe insert so you need to use the rereplace regex

Mike asks:I'm working on a suggestion list for a search box, is it possible to query more than one column and return that from the binding CFC?Absolutely. Remember, ColdFusion's autosuggest control doesn't care how you create the result, it just cares that you return an array of strings. How you create the array is up to you. When I first wrote back to Mike, I recommended simply running two queries. Then I remember that a union would work fine as well. Here is the example I created. [More]

Every year I promise to blog this on the 1st, and every year it gets away from me. Personally, I think Time is an evil thief who must be killed at the earliest convenience, but maybe it's just me getting old. In case you weren't aware, November is national adoption month. You can read the presidential proclomation here if you are interested. I'll also pass along this nice list of highlights for the month (notice the CFM extension - and yes - it is a Model-Glue site). Regular readers know that my wife and I chose adoption as the way to grow our family. We have three beautiful kids from South Korea. Adoption is a very special, very emotional, and very wonderful thing. If you have any questions I'd highly encourage you to ask - either myself or someone local to you. I'll leave you with two small pieces of advice when it comes to talking to families who have adopted. First - don't ask about the "real" parents. I hate to be PC, but this is one thing that really ticks me off, as it does most adoptive parents. Obviously the person raising the child is the real parent. It's best to refer to the birth parents as the biological parents (or birth parents). Secondly - don't ask something you aren't willing to answer yourself. I've had folks ask how much I paid for my kids (yes, seriously, and to be clear, you pay for paperwork and handling, not children), ask if they are related, and ask if they knew they were adopted (gee, my kids aren't blind, and I'm a bit pale compared to them ;). Just keep it in mind. Questions about processes, wait times, how to manage costs, etc are fine. Obviously I speak just for myself and not all adoptive parents.Source: Raymond Camden's ColdFusion Blog
I was talking to a reader earlier today about ColdFusion 9's new multi-file uploader. I mentioned my earlier blog post which goes into details about the "multiple post" nature of this control, specifically if you have other form fields involved. He came back with an interesting scenario. How would you handle allowing for metadata about each file upload. By that I mean imagine the following: You've got a form with a few basic fields in (name, email, etc), and then you have the multi-file uploader. For each file you upload you want to ask the user to enter data about the file, like perhaps a nicer name. How could you handle that? Here is one simple example that makes use of jQuery. I wrote this very quickly so please forgive the ugliness. [More]Source: Ben Forta's Blog
