Usage
If the
cfform preserveData
attribute is true and the form posts back to the same page, the
posted value of the cfinput control is used, instead of its Value or Checked attribute.
If
cfinput
check box or radio type values match the submitted value for the control, ColdFusion
checks their values. If no value matches, nothing is checked.
To add other HTML <input> tag attributes and values to this tag, use the
passThrough
attribute.
They are passed through ColdFusion to the browser when creating a form. The supported
HTML attributes are: CLASS, ID, MAXLENGTH, MESSAGE, ONBLUR, ONCHANGE,
ONCLICK, ONDBLCLICK, ONFOCUS, SIZE, STYLE, and TABINDEX.
If you specify a value in quotation marks, you must escape them; for example,
passThrough = "readonly = " "YES " " "
For more information, see
cfform
on page 132 . For information on using JavaScript regular
expressions with this tag, see Chapter 27, “Building Dynamic Forms,” in Developing ColdFusion
MX Applications
