It is quite simple to inject a tags using your form and do something you absolutely don't want to see happening in your webpage. It won't take much, except little bit of luck and a html enabled form, like a FCK Editor enabled form that we all like to use time to time. Here I assembled a simple function to remove all those codes from a given string, so you can clean your input data, before you send it to the database or save anywhere else. (more..)

I was trying to connect to inDesign server with ColdFusion today, realize there are no code examples in CFM. There are php, java and other language examples in adobe site, but not CFM. This is not the first time I noticed that. When adobe released Spry framework before CF 8, Adobe labs most graciously released php and .net examples, but there were no CFM either. (more..)

Every blog need a test post. So here goes mine. Just setting up the domian and ftp publishing. Hope it works. Update (01/31/10):Finally the blog can go back up with new coding.Update (12/22/08):After trying out all blog applications out there, decided to write my own. I don’t know why.

Here I created a CFC wrapper from the previous code for creating a datamarix barcode with barcode4j. You can output EPS, PNG and JPG files, but EPS is the best format if you are planning to use it inside PDF, it can reduce printing time if you are using a digital printer. Even though you can create JPG output, it can seriously affect the reading part. In other words, using JPG is not an very good idea. (more..)
