Paltform: Coldfusion 6.1

The Cremation Merchandise Ordering Application provides our employees with a convenient way of ordering various cremation products from multiple vendors. This is our first major application to center its functionality around the capabilities of the jQuery library, particular its built-in AJAX functions (selected item's META data automatically populates other labels upon tabbing out of the item code field), DOM manipulation functions (the added items table is redrawn to the browser without a page refresh after each item is added), and jQuery's famed lightbox features, which are used for inline editing and replacing Javascript confirmation dialogs. Other features include a security interface, an interface to manage approved vendors, and an interface to restrict ordering of individual items.

Code Samples:

• order.js - Javascript file containing functions that provide functionality for multiple jQuery lightboxes
• cremationOrder.js - Javascript file containing the application's core DOM manipulation functions
• getNewBillingAddress.cfm - one of the many server-side scripts that support AJAX functions (36 total server-side scripts)
• udfs.cfm - Coldfusion component containing public static methods
