cfform

In HTML format, if you omit this attribute and specify an id attribute, ColdFusion does not include a name attribute in the HTML sent to the browser; this behavior lets you use the cfform tag to create XHTML-compliant forms. If you omit the name attribute and the id attribute, ColdFusion generates a name of the form CFForm_n where n is a number that assigned serially to the forms on a page.

Name of CFML page to execute when the form is submitted for processing.

The method the browser uses to send the form data to the server: - post: Send the data using the HTTP post method, This method sends the data in a separate message to the server. - get: Send the data using the HTTP get method, which puts the form field contents in the URL query string.

- HTML: Generate an HTML form and send it to the client. - Flash: DEPRECATED in CF 11+ Generate a Flash form and send it to the client. All controls are in Flash format. - XML: DEPRECATED in CF 11+ Generate XForms-compliant XML and save the results in a variable specified by the name attribute. By default, ColdFusion also applies an XSL skin and displays the result.

DEPRECATED in CF 11+ Flash: Use a Macromedia halo color to stylize the output. XML: Specifies whether to apply an XSL skin and display the resulting HTML to the client. Can be any of the following: - ColdFusion MX skin name: Apply the specified skin. - XSL file name: Apply the skin located in the specified path. - "none": Do not apply an XSL skin. You must use XForms XML then. - (omitted) or "default": Use the ColdFusion MX default skin.

When the cfform action attribute posts back to the same page as the form, this determines whether to override the control values with the submitted values. - false: values specified in the control tag attributes are used - true: corresponding submitted values are used

JavaScript to execute when the form loads.

JavaScript or Actionscript function to execute to preprocess data before form is submitted. If any child tags specify onSubmit field validation, ColdFusion does the validation before executing this JavaScript.

URL of downloadable JRE plug-in (for Internet Explorer only). Default: /CFIDE/classes/cf-j2re-win.cab

URL of downloadable Java classes for CFML controls. Default: /CFIDE/classes/cfapplets.jar

The height of the form. Use a number to specify pixels, In Flash, you can use a percentage value to specify a percentage of the available width. The displayed height might be less than the specified size.

The width of the form. Use a number to specify pixels, In Flash, you can use a percentage value to specify a percentage of the available width.

Applies only for onSubmit or onBlur validation; has no effect for onServer validation. An ActionScript expression or expressions to execute if the user submits a form with one or more validation errors.

Specifies how the Flash form appears relative to other displayable content that occupies the same space on an HTML page. - window: The Flash form is the topmost layer on the page and obscures anything that would share the space, such as drop-down dynamic HTML lists. - transparent: The Flash form honors the z-index of DHTML so you can float items above it. If the Flash form is above any item, transparent regions in the form show the content that is below it. - opaque: The Flash form honors the z-index of DHTML so you can float items above it. If the Flash form is above any item, it blocks any content that is below it. Default is: window.

Specifies whether to include support screen readers in the Flash form. Screen reader support adds approximately 80KB to the SWF file sent to the client. Default is: false.

Specifies whether to display a progress bar when loading the Flash form. Default is: true.

Integer number of seconds for which to keep the form data in the Flash cache on the server. A value of 0 prevents the data from being cached.

Specifies the URL, relative to the web root, of the directory that contains the cfform.js file with the client-side JavaScript used by this tag and its child tags. For XML format forms, this directory is also the default directory for XSLT skins.

Styles to apply to the form. In HTML or XML format, ColdFusion passes the style attribute to the browser or XML. In Flash format, must be a style specification in CSS format.
