You can use form and action pages similar to the following examples to select and index a
collection.
To select which collection to index:
Create a ColdFusion page with the following content:
1
<html>
<head>
<title>Select the Collection to Index</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Specify the index you want to build</h2>
<form method="Post" action="collection_index_action.cfm">
<p>Enter the collection you want to index:
<input type="text" name="IndexColl" size="25" maxLength="35"></p>
<p>Enter the location of the files in the collection:
<input type="text" name="IndexDir" size="50" maxLength="100"></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Index">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Save the file as collection_index_form.cfm in the myapps directory under the web_root
