164 Chapter 2: ColdFusion Tags
In Flash format forms, this tag organizes the contents of the form. It groups and arranges child
tags. The body of this tag can contain the following tags; all other tags and text are ignored:
•
cfformgroup
•
cfformitem
•
cfcalendar
•
cfgrid
•
cfinput
•
cfselect
•
cftextarea
•
cftree
For more information on using this tag in Flash forms, see Chapter 29, “Creating Forms in
Macromedia Flash” in
ColdFusion MX Developer’s Guide .
In XML format, ColdFusion passes the tag and its attributes to the XML; it is the responsibility
of the skin XSLT to handle the XML. The ColdFusion basic skin supports the
horizontal
,
vertical
, and
dualselectlist
styles only. For more information on using this tag in XML
forms, see Chapter 29, “Creating Forms in Macromedia Flash” in ColdFusion MX Developer’s
Guide .
Example
For a simple example of an XML form that uses a single
cfformgroup
tag, see
cfform .
The following example shows how to use the
cfformgroup
tag to arrange elements on a Flash
form. It creates an hdividedbox container that has a vbox container on each side. The left box has
heading text and two radio buttons. The right box has heading text and three check boxes.
