ColdFusion enhanced forms

<cfform format="HTML"> and its related tags provide enhanced capabilities to HTML forms. <cfform> allow for client side data validation for things like

  • required fields
  • numeric only fields
  • data only fields

Other fields have completely new capabilities

<cftextarea richtext="yes"> creates a WYSIWYG HTML editor

<cfform format="flash"> makes flash based forms instead of HTML.

Because <cfform> functionality is tied in with a specific version of ColdFusion, many developers prefer using other technologies for client side data validation.
