Insert ColdFusion check boxes

You can visually insert a ColdFusion check box into your form and set its properties. Use check boxes to let users select more than one option from a set of options.

Note: This enhancement is available only if you have access to a computer running ColdFusion MX 7 or later.
  1. Place the insertion point inside the form outline.
  2. In the CFForm category of the Insert panel, click the CF Checkbox icon.

    A check box appears in the ColdFusion form.

  3. Select the check box on the page and set any of the following options in the Property inspector:
    Cfcheckbox
    Lets you specify a unique name for the control.

    Checked Value
    Lets you specify a value to be returned by the check box if the user checks it.

    Validate
    Specifies the type of validation for the check box.

    Validate At

    Label

    Pattern
    Lets you specify a JavaScript regular expression pattern to validate input. Omit leading and trailing slashes. For more information, see the ColdFusion documentation.

    Size
