AJAX File Uploader for ColdFusion
Uploading files with AJAX is a unique challenge due to the fact that file uploads require a form "post" with enctype="multipart/form-data". To get around this people have used a combination of IFrames and AJAX.

I've been pondering this question due to a project I built with ColdFusion 8 AJAX. If you've ever attended an Adobe Roadshow event you've seen the showmanship in action. Exciting demos that let you build entire apps with the click of a button or new tags that add complex functionality with very little effort. I don't have a problem with these demos, it's the missing "warning label" that I'm concerned with.
FCKeditor 2.6.3 standalong suddenly stopped working today.
I tracked down the problem to the fckutils.cfm file FCKeditor tests for browser compatibility and displays a regular textarea if the browser tests "false".
I'm writing this post to help those searching based on the Javascript alert in the FileManager for FCKEditor. During my upgrade to ColdFusion 9, my FCKEditor (2.6.3) began throwing the javascript alert
"The server didn't reply with a proper XML data. Please check your configuration."
I presented at the San Jose Creative Suite user group on December 1st. The topic of the meeting was "ask the experts". Where each product was showcased with experts giving 15 to 20 min demos of cool features.
While ColdFusion is not sold with the Creative Suite, it works with several of the products (Dreamweaver, Flash, Acrobat). Here are my slides hosted on SlideSix (a service built with ColdFusion)
