The following are known issues in Pet Market version 1.2.
Search function does not return expected results
The search function used in the Pet Market application is
a simple SQL query against the database. Searches are case
sensitive and different platforms affect the way queries
are sent to the database resulting in unexpected results.
Macromedia did not develop a fully-functional search capability
in this application but recommends using a more robust solution
from a third-party vendor if you are developing a real-world
application. Ê
Pet Market not accessible using Mac OSX with Netscape
7, Omniweb, or Opera
The Pet Market application requires Macromedia Flash Player
6 build 6,0,40,0. The application performs a check for the
correct Flash Player and in some instances, will not complete
the operation. Installing
the latest version should allow you to access the Pet
Market application. You may need to restart your browser
or computer to complete the installation.
Network Communications Error using Netscape 4.7x with
a dial-up connection
A user will receive a Network Communications error when
accessing the Pet Market application hosted on the ColdFusion
MX built-in web server with one of the Netscape Navigator
4.7x browsers over a dial-up connection. Macromedia has
been unable to replicate the problem using any other browser.
The development team has been notified of the problem and
is conducting further research.
Text cursor does not disappear on loss of focus
In certain circumstances, the text cursor does not disappear
when the text field loses focus. This is a known problem
in the Macromedia Flash Player 6, and will be fixed in a
future update to the player.
Pet Market not connecting to database when installed
on Windows platforms with the J2EE version of ColdFusion
MX.
Installing the Pet Market on Windows platforms with
the J2EE version of ColdFusion MX requires additional steps
to connect the application to the database.
You need to make sure you have the updated version of Microsoft
Data Access Components (MDAC) installed. You will need to
go to the Microsoft website
and download and install the latest version of MDAC. (Click
the "MDAC 2.7 RTM Refresh is available for download"
link.) Make sure you exit all other programs before installing
MDAC.
You will then need to create an ODBC datasource in the
Windows datasource administrator that points to the Access
database:
- Open the control panel (Start > Settings > Control
Panel).
- Double click the ODBC Datasources (32 bit) icon in the
control panel. The title of this icon may differ slightly.
- Click the System DSN tab.
- Look for the BlueprintDatabase DSN from the list.
If you see it there, select it and click the remove button.
If you don't see it, proceed to the next step.
- Click the Add button.
- Select Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) from the list
of drivers.
- Click Finish.
- Type BlueprintDatabase in the Data source name
field (this is case sensitive).
- Click the Select button.
- Browse to the petmarket.mdb database file (it
should have been installed at C:\CFusionMX\db\petmarket.mdb).
- Click OK to close the ODBC MS Access setup dialog.
Once the above steps are complete, go into the ColdFusion
Administrator and add the datasource with ODBC socket as
your selected driver. There will be a list all of your available
ODBC datasources. Select the ODBC datasource that you just
created and Pet Market should now be able to connect to
the database.
If you experience any other problems with the Pet Market,
