ColdFusion Javascript errors

I am getting an illegal character error in /cfide/scripts/cfform.js and masks.js as well as it not being able to find a _CF_checkdate (which I did not see defined in the source.  I think that whatever this is, it is causing other javascript functions to either fail or act sporadically.  Any advice on this would be appreciated.

It sounds to me like those files have been corrupted in some way. Have you compared them with the default files?

That is very possible...I haven't checked, but i can.  Thanks Dave. On Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 3:21 PM, Dave Watts <dwatts@figleaf.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

common reason for problems in the CFIDE is that cf has been updated/patched which includes updates to the CFIDE, and these updates have not been applied to the CFIDE in use. this may happen if you have 2 copies of the CFIDE. the default one is at [cfusion install path]\wwwroot\cfide which is usually only created if you install the built in web server. check to see if you have this one and if so you could copy it over the live one if it is newer.

We had an issue earlier this week where somehow someone accidentally deleted most of the files in the wwwroot.  We also found out that the dev server wasn't getting backed up like we thought it was (tough way to find out hehehe), so we tried "undeleting" files with an undelete utility.  Some of the CFM's came back corrupted, so I am assuming that some of the js files are also corrupted...grrrr  We recovered most of the files and those that couldn't, we were able to copy over from our test environment.  Since CFIDE is in the wwroot, i would assume that they were subjedct to some of the same issues, though i am not sure they had to undelete any of that.

I went and replaced the 2 JS files and that solved the problem.   i was thinking that was the problem, but wasn't sure if i was looking at an encrypted file or a corrupted file.  Thanks guys!
