<div>
did you try, instead of &lt;cfcontent, to use any of the other whitespace-management tags suggested in your other thread?<br />
<br />

<div>
Yes, I tried them all but they would cause the autosuggest to stop working. &nbsp;The only one that allowed it to keep working was cfcontent but casued the formatting problems.
</div>


<div>
yes, it may very well cause formatting issues...<br />
<br />
can u post (again, just to be sure we are still working with same code) your Application.cfm file and the relevant code from the page using autosuggest?<br />
<br />

<div>
i have just tested cfautosuggest with Application.cfm file (same code as yours sans the ldap query since i do not use ldap) - and it worked just fine! without any &lt;cfcontent&gt; or any other whitespace-management tags used! <br />
mind you, i do have that &quot;Enable Whitespace Management&quot; checkbox on &quot;Settings&quot; tab in CF Admin checked - so i do have whitespace management on by default... but all-in-all there is no problem with using cfautosuggest with Application.cfm.<br />

<div>
which version and build number of CF are you on, btw?

<div>
I do have the &quot;Enable Whitespace Management&quot; feature checked as well. &nbsp;Here is the code to my application.cfm and I will post my autosuggest code in following posts:<br />

<div>
Sorry, was pasting it around in notepad and as a habit pasted code in middle of body tags from cfm.......
</div>


<div>
never mind - having &lt;body&gt; tags there does not seem to be the problem...<br />
<br />
i am a bit stumped by this - it works flawlessly on my computer here....<br />
there must be something else at play on you set-up... but, for now, i am failing to come up with what it may be... need more coffee, i guess...<br />

<div>
It's been stumping me for a while now. &nbsp;Thanks for the help Azadi, I appreciate it. &nbsp;Let me know if you can come up with anything else. &nbsp;I don't know if moving to application.cfc would be useful or not here. &nbsp;Just wondering how I would get the session variables set in an application.cfc or if that is even an option for it.
</div>


<div>
Thank you Azadi. &nbsp;I'll give it a go and see what comes of it. &nbsp;As much fun as this is, I have to call it a night. &nbsp;I will get back to you bright and early in the morning. &nbsp;Thanks again for your help and patience.
</div>


<div>
btw, you can also shorten your lookupArt cfc function a bit:<br />
<br />
&lt;!--- Lookup used for auto suggest ---&gt;<br />
&lt;cffunction name=&quot;lookupArt&quot; access=&quot;remote&quot; returntype=&quot;array&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;cfargument name=&quot;search&quot; type=&quot;any&quot; required=&quot;false&quot; default=&quot;&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;!--- Define variables ---&gt;<br />
&lt;cfset var data=&quot;&quot;&gt;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&lt;!--- Do search ---&gt;<br />
&lt;cfquery datasource=&quot;#THIS.dsn#&quot; name=&quot;data&quot;&gt;<br />
SELECT clientcode<br />
FROM sag_policies<br />
WHERE clientcode LIKE '#ARGUMENTS.search#%' &nbsp;AND prod1 = 'amg'<br />
ORDER BY clientcode<br />
&lt;/cfquery&gt;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&lt;cfreturn listtoarray(arraytolist(da<wbr />ta.clientc<wbr />ode, &quot;|&quot;), &quot;|&quot;)&gt;<br />
&lt;/cffunction&gt;<br />
<br />
nothing much different, just one line for cfreturn instead of 5...<br />

<div>
Hey Azadi, I wanted to thank you again for your help. &nbsp;I did implement the .cfc file you created (updated with correct credentials) but now come across errors on my page. &nbsp;They are : Elemen MEMBEROF is undefined in the SESSION. &nbsp;I looks like the session variables aren't being brought over in the sessions. &nbsp;Any ideas?
</div>


<div>
Nevermind, got it to work. &nbsp;But I did notice that the formatting issues are still there.
</div>


<div>
what formatting issues exactly are you seeing? <br />
don't forget that for all cf ajax features cf loads necessary stylesheets into the page - it is possible that some of the styles defined in them make your page render differently.<br />
<br />
get Firefox with Firebug extension if you do not already have it and inspect the css of your elements that do not appear right to see where the css rules are coming from.<br />
<br />
Azadi
</div>


<div>
Formatting issues such as text alignment and text size. &nbsp;I launched the page in FF and it displays perfectly! &nbsp;I have it open in IE and FF side by side and in IE it renders completely different than in FF (which displays it the way I want it too.) &nbsp;What could be the difference?
</div>


<div>
Azadi, I recreated my css from scratch and it seems to have made the difference. &nbsp;Funny thing is that I basically just recreated what I already had. &nbsp;Either way, thank you for your help on this goofy situation. &nbsp;I appreciate the time and effort you put into helping me and for giving me a working application.cfc file. &nbsp;Thanks again, you were VERY helpful and knowledgeable!!
</div>


<div>
Thank you for your help Azadi, you helped me work around the issue and come to a solution.

I have recently tried to implement a simple autosuggest feature but have come across an issue. &nbsp;I tracked the problem down to what I think is something connected to my application.cfm file. &nbsp;At first glance I accepted an answer here : <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24174431/Can-autosuggest-work-without-application-cfc.html" rel="ugc">https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24174431/Can-autosuggest-work-without-application-cfc.html</a>&nbsp; - but found that was not a complete fix. &nbsp;What happens now is that the autosuggest works, but the formatting on my page gets all crazy (text being centered in wrong places, wrong text size/color, etc.) and when I remove the &lt;cfcontent reset=&quot;true&quot;&gt; the page goes back to normal but the autosuggest errors out. &nbsp;Any suggestions?

Coldfusion Application.cfm question

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
