Harlan Ad Server Updated

It's been a few months, but I've updated my ColdFusion based ad server, Harlan. The changes include:

  • Fix IE issues. IE sucks. I hate IE. Have I said that IE sucks?
  • When deleting an ad from a campaign, I was resetting all of the stats for all ads in the campaign. Now I only remove the stats for that ad.
  • On the logon form, auto-focus on the username. Charlie suggested that in BlogCFC, and I'm trying to do that to all my applications now.

Version 1.02 can be downloaded from the project page.

Auto-focus... I'll work my butt off on some web app and the first thing my clients say is "Why do I have to click first. Can't I just start typing?"

Can't blame 'em. I too have come to make it a standard feature on all my forms.

Another popular "auto-focus" feature is to move focus to a field when the Javascript validation finds an issue with it. That way they can quickly find and fix it. Nothing worse than a really long form that gives you a Javascript alert with "Error on answer #53" and you have to scroll and find it to figure out what you did wrong.

I switched to a 3rd party ad server called www.adspeed.com as it's much easier to maintain and offer very nice features.
