AJAX is cool. AJAX with ColdFusion? Ehh, notsomuch.
Ok, perhaps that’s being a wee bit unfair, as I’m still what I’d consider both an AJAX n00b and ColdFusion beginner. I’m currently frobbing with the CFAjax implementation which, I will admit, beats the pants off having to write the whole bloody mess myself. However, I’m simply not adept at getting the various parts to spit out proper debugging messages. After finally getting the pieces to at least play nicely together, I’m seeing an error our group has seen before in various CF database (Informix) calls:
found a quote for which there is no matching quote
This is followed by the regurgitation of the SQL my code was trying to execute, which was suspiciously lacking in extra quotes of either the single or double variety. Sigh. For a straightforward-sounding error message, this one is sometimes just NOT. For grins, I Googled the phrase
“found a quote for which there is no matching quote” coldfusion
The humor is not lost on me that for this particular search phrase/quote, Google returns 0 results (at least at the time of query; rerunning the string a week or three later does yield a result. And yes, I know that removing the coldfusion keyword makes a difference, but that’s not nearly so amusing to my admittedly warped sense of humor) .
