I have a .cfm and .cfc that I am using to edit data in

  • 0

I have a .cfm and .cfc that I am using to edit data in a cfgrid on the .cfm, and it works, however 10% of the time I will get the following error message:

“Error invoking CFC /test/editCFgrid.cfc: Internal Server Error“

I tried using the debugging advice, however no luck.

Here is the CFM code:

Each function (edit, insert, delete, etc) works, but it randomly will generate the error. Ultimately, I am seeking a code that will ignore/block/”OK” the error message so the user won’t see it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! I have spent the entire day (9 hours) googling for an answer, but I haven’t found any. I do not have access to the CF Admin Log, I’m just a regular developer. Thanks!

    There is a way to ignore/block/ok the “error” message with the following script: 

    <script>ColdFusion.setGlobalErrorHandler(function (error) 
{mygrid = ColdFusion.Grid.refresh ('artistgrid', false);
}
);
</script>

    Insert this script in the CFM files, and you’re good to go! Being that the error that I was encountering was not impacting the function (editing the cells) of the cfgrid (the pop-up message was being more of a nuisance then anything else). Hopefully this solution will help others!

    You do not need to use the ‘Grid.refresh’ command in the script, you can use anything command you want.

    Thanks everyone who attempted to answer my issue!
