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!

Internal Server error 500 - posting ajax request to coldfusion page

Asked by DavidGreenfield in ColdFusion Application Server, JavaScript

Tags: Coldfusion v8, Ajax

Hi there

I have the following web page trying to do a ajax post to a coldfusion page which inserts data to a file:

dave.html:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="prototype.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src=
"scriptaculous.js">
</script>



<script type="text/javascript">

//new Ajax.Request('saveportal.cfm', {asynchronous:true});

function displaymessage()
{

var opt = {
    // Use POST
    method: 'post',
    // Send this lovely data
    postBody: escape('thisvar=true&thatvar=Howdy&theothervar=2112'),
    // Handle successful response
    onSuccess: function(t) {
        alert(t.responseText);
    },
    // Handle 404
    on404: function(t) {
        alert('Error 404: location "' + t.statusText + '" was not found.');
    },
    // Handle other errors
    onFailure: function(t) {
        alert('Error ' + t.status + ' -- ' + t.statusText);
    }
}
new Ajax.Request('http://10.5.0.2/saveportal.cfm', opt);
}

</script>
<body>
<input type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="displaymessage()" >
</body>
</html>


Coldfusion page saveportal.cfm:

<cffile action="write" addnewline="yes" file="c:\dave.txt" output="Page Hit" fixnewline="yes">



When I run dave.html, there is a slight pause and I get 500 -- Internal Server Error, i.e the failure function.  I am new to Ajax and I have no idea what this could be, is the set up incorrect, do I need to do anything special in coldfusion etc etc??

Also if I open the coldfusion page by itself it works fine.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks
