jQuery tabs and IE caching...

I ran into an interesting issue using the jQuery UI tabs ajax style and Internet Explorer. 

If you setup the tabs with the with the cache turned off, they will still be cached in IE.   I had worked around this issue by adding a counter that changed every time to my href for the tab, but I found a more elegant solution and thought I would share.

 $(document).ready(function(){

$("#tabs").tabs({ 

spinner: 'Loading...',

cache: false

});

});

The solution for this is to not only set the cache to false, but also to use the ajax options and set cache to false there also.  So the code would change to this...

 $(document).ready(function(){

$("#tabs").tabs({

spinner: 'Loading...',

cache: false,

ajaxOptions: {cache: false}

});

});

Ok, but in which context? Are you using coldbox 3, coldbox 2.6.4 or? Are you using CF8 Server, CF7 or OpenBD or are you just using JQuery and IE?

Not a ColdBox or ColdFusion issue at all. It is purely an IE and jQuery issue. IE 6,7 & 8 and jQuery 1.3.2.

You are the man, thanks! This is definitely just an issue with IE and jQuery and still exists in later versions than 1.3.2 as well.

Your Development Team Is at Capacity. Here’s How to Keep Critical Work Moving!

The problem is not that your team lacks priorities.It is that maintenance, delivery, and long-term improvement are competing for the same people.

For companies running business-critical CFML, ColdFusion, or BoxLang applications, that pressure can be especially difficult to solve. Experienced developers are not always easy to hire quickly, application knowledge may be concentrated in one or two people, and a generalist may need significant context before taking ownership of the work. A permanent hire can also require a significant investment in recruiting, compensation, onboarding, and long-term capacity even when the immediate need is a specific project, urgent maintenance, or a period of transition.

Copy of BoxLang AI 3.4 Blog Series Part 5 : Reasoning Without the Guesswork

Reasoning-capable models have been usable in BoxLang AI for a while. params passes straight through to the provider body, so params: { thinking: { type: "enabled", budget_tokens: 10000 } } for Claude, or params: { reasoning_effort: "high" } for OpenAI, already reached the API. What never worked was reading the reasoning back. It was parsed out on arrival and silently dropped. In 3.4.0, that's fixed, and it's fixed the same way for every provider.
