Insert ColdFusion text fields
You
can visually insert a ColdFusion text field or password field into
your form, and then set its options.
Note: This enhancement
is available only if you have access to a computer running ColdFusion
MX 7 or later.
Visually insert a ColdFusion text field- In Design view, place the insertion
point inside the form outline.
- In the CFForm category of the Insert panel, click the
CF Text Field icon or select Insert > ColdFusion Objects >
CFForm > CFtextfield.
A text field appears in the form.
- Select the text field and set its properties in the Property
inspector.
- To label the text field on the page, click beside it
and enter text for the label.
Visually insert a password field- Repeat steps 1 and 2 in the previous
procedure for inserting a text field.
- Select the inserted text field to display its Property
inspector.
- Select the Password value from the Text Mode pop‑up menu
in the Property inspector.
CFTextField options (ColdFusion)To set the options of a ColdFusion text or
password field, set any of the following options in the CFTextField
Property inspector:
- CFtextfield
- Sets the id attribute of the <cfinput> tag.
- Value

page first opens in a browser. The information can either be static
or dynamic.
To specify a dynamic value, click the lightning
bolt icon beside the Value box and select a recordset column in
the Dynamic Data dialog box. The recordset column supplies a value
to the text field when you view the form in a browser.
