Name: CF_ColoredCode v3.2  
This utility parses raw HTML and ColdFusion into a color-coded format that is easy to read. The parser follows the default color settings used in Allaire's ColdFusion Studio and Homesite, respectively. This will turn URLs within messages into active URLs and will make email addresses active mailto links as well. The primary change involved in this release is better hyperlink parsing.

Name: CF_EasyNav v1.1  
This utility grabs the URL and creates links out of each folder. This works great if you have a navigation bar that needs to be based on a folder structure.

The first letter of the folder will be capitalized, and all other characters will be taken to lowercase. All colors, dimensions, and fonts are customizeable. This is the utility used to create the navigation bar on this page above. Change it to your liking.

Name: CF_NULLVALIDATE  
Whenever inserting a date field that has a value of "", sql assumes a 1900-00-00 date. Whenever inserting a numeric field with a value of "", SQL will return an ODBC error. We get around this by using statements in our inserts and updates. For those of us who have forms with many date fields that are not required fields and many numeric fields, this can obviosly be alot of statements. So, the purpose of this tag eliminates all of those statements and returns a NULL value for all date and numeric fields who's values are "".
