Place the insertion point where you want the ColdFusion form control to appear in the ColdFusion form, and then
select the control from the Insert menu (Insert > ColdFusion Objects > CFForm), or from the CFForm category in
the Insert bar.
5 If required, set the properties of the control with the Property inspector.
Make sure the control is selected in Design view and then set the properties in the Property inspector. For more
information on the properties, click the Help icon in the Property inspector.
6 Adjust the layout of the ColdFusion form.
If you're creating an HTML-based form, you can use line breaks, paragraph breaks, preformatted text, or tables to
format your forms. You cannot insert a ColdFusion form in another ColdFusion form (that is, you cannot overlap
tags), but you can include more than one ColdFusion form in a page.
If you're creating a Flash-based form, use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) styles to lay out your form. ColdFusion
ignores any HTML in the form.
Remember to label the ColdFusion form fields with descriptive text to let users know what they are responding to.
For example, create a "Type your name label" to request name information.
