Why autosuggest field in coldfusion doesn't work with Firefox

I have faced this problem and it took me awhile to figure out what was the problem, while the same code worked find on Explorer but didn't on Firefox.

It looks that Firefox is sensitive to the structure of how you write your code, so you must well format your form tags and other html tags.

In my case I included the cfform inside the html table while I shouldn't do this I should start by the cfform then the table, please see the code below:

<cfform format="html" method="post" action="">
<table width="50%" align="center" border="0">
<tr><td class="text3">Member:
<cfinput name="username" type="text" autosuggest="#list#" label="Username:" size="30"/></td>
<td class="text3"><cfinput name="submit" type="submit" value="Show User"/></td></tr>
</table>
</cfform>


The #list# variable is a list that was generated from a query and has a list of names.

The Semantic Web

Semantic Web aims to create a meaning and define inter-relationship for information available on the web In the early stages of the World Wide Web (web) it was necessary to develop standards to view web content (HTML language) and to create communication channels (N-Tier applications, email, ftp, etc.). As the web started to be the world’s largest knowledge base, accessible world wide, it became important to develop tools to transfer knowledge between cultures. However, it is still not possible for applications and agents to interoperate with other applications and agents without having a predefined, human created common framework of the meaning of the information being transferred on both sides. Semantic Web (SW) alleviates this problem by providing a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries [W3C Semantic Web, 2019]. A clear example on SW application is schema.org. Google, Bing, Yahoo use schema...

Arabs In London

I was not able to watch Arabs in London episodes during the last holy month of Ramadan. I watched it recently on MBC. I was really impressed by the performance of some actors and actresses. The most impressive one was Mais Hamdan who was able to present the Palestinian accent efficiently. This TV series was written and directed by Anwar Qawadri a Syrian director who studied and lived in London. The below video is about 8 minutes show when Sami finds out that his friend Eddy (Adnan) passed away.
