CFTEXTINPUT
The CFTEXTINPUT form custom control allows you to place a single-line text entry
box in a
CFFORM . In addition to input validation, the tag gives you control over all font
characteristics.
Note
CFTEXTINPUT incorporates a Java applet, so a browser must be Java-
enabled for CFTEXTINPUT to work properly.
