The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Dateformat for field bound to CFGRID

Asked by CDL2 in ColdFusion Application Server

Tags: cfgrid, date, dateformat

I am using a flash form to display a grid that has fields bound to the grid.  One of the fields is a datefield.  It's displaying the date as "Mon Apr23 01:00:00 GMT-0500 1963".  I want to display the date as dd-mmm-yyyy.  I tried using #DateFormat(date, "mask")# in the <cfinput>, both in the bind and in the onchange, but it didn't work.

How can I format the way the date is displayed in the details field (not in the grid)?

Following is some of the code (it goes against an MS Access db):

<!---  Get employee list  --->
<cfquery datasource="ds" name="employees">
      SELECT *
      FROM Employees
      WHERE emp_Status='A'
      ORDER BY emp_LastName, emp_FirstName
</cfquery>
.
.
.
.
.
<!---  Display data grid  --->
<cfform format="flash" action="formdump.cfm" skin="haloblue">

      <!---  Data grid  --->
      <cfgrid name="gridEmployees" query="employees" colheaderbold="yes" rowheaders="no" >
            <!---  Don't show all columns  (show selected columns)  --->
            <cfgridcolumn name="emp_LastName" header="Last Name">
            <cfgridcolumn name="emp_FirstName" header="First Name">
      </cfgrid>

.
.
.
.
.
      <!---  Input fields  --->
      <cfinput type="datefield" name="emp_Birthdate" label="Birthdate:"
                  size="15" maxlength="11"
                  bind="{gridEmployees.dataProvider[gridEmployees.selectedIndex]
                                                ['emp_Birthdate']}"
            onchange="gridEmployees.dataProvider.editField(gridEmployees.selectedIndex,                                                 'emp_Birthdate', emp_Birthdate.text);">


Thanks for any help.
