I've developed one simple image manipulation with cfimage yesterday. It's about how to make watermask. PS : for output image format, use "PNG" instead of "JPEG" because "PNG" is high resolution ever.

It's original image

It's watermask image

Before time, I always use ListAppend tag whenever I want to create list value from Database. Today I surf coding of our in-house software, I found they use ValueList tag by accident. When I saw this tag, I don't know how does it work and how to use. After reading, documentation from Adobe then it's incredible.

Last week, I've attended Webcamps seminar organized by Microsoft in Singapore. Describing my previous thread, they're focus on MS visual studio 2010, IIS7 and MVC 2. Meanwhile, James Senior (actually he's main person for this seminar) let us know how to create "twitter search with jQuerytemplate ". It's absolutely cool and we don't need any server-side programming for it.

When I started using facebook, everybody can tag their friends' names in photo and after tagging it, Alternate text will occur when mouse-over on this photo. It's very impressive for me and want to know how it's developed. When I deep woring tag of HTML, it's very simple to do like facebook. My idea of how to create this tagged in facebook is:

• selected A (it's someone or something) choose in this pic
• note x,y coordinate of A
• save x,y coordinate and caption of A
• display this pic by
• mouse-over on coordinate then display caption

Before time, when I need CF value to know javascript, I need to create hidden or input then set cf value to in. When I know ToScript, I don't need to do a lot of stuff just like before. Using this tag is simple,

ToScript([coldfusion_var], [new_javascript_name], [outputformat optional], [ASFormat optional])

I'm trying to compare 2 lists and output the different value and same value of these 2 lists. Normally, CF doesn't have complete function of compare 2 lists. That's why I gotta create my own UDF for comparing 2 lists. How does it work :

• ListGetDifferent(List1, List2, "Same/Differ")
• If you defined "Same", then will return Same value of main list after comparing with second list.
• If you defined "Different", then will return different value of main list after comparing with second list as well.

Function UDF

Get from Different Value

Sometimes, javascript errors are very kinda complicated to manipulate. What would you do if you need to check whether variable is passed by URL from other form? Do you'll have to declare this variable in your form? Nope, it's no need. Use typeof function of javascript.

When we need to pass some parameters to another page with javascript, we should use escape() function of javascript. Unless, some of your parameters will be lost if included space and any special characters. Using this function will encode our parameters to ASCII characters like to %20.
