Using other skins: If you use any other skin, some attributes are not supported, or the skin supports custom attributes.
Get the information about the supported attributes from the XSLT skin developer.
Using cfformitem tags
ColdFusion does not process inline text or standard HTML tags when it generates an XML form; therefore, you use
the
tag to add formatted HTML or plain text blocks and any other display elements, such as horizontal
cfformitem
and vertical rules, to your form.
ColdFusion converts all
cfformitemtype
ColdFusion converts the type name to
type="MyType"
ColdFusion makes no other limitations on the
skin must process the attributes to display the items.
Using ColdFusion skins: The skins provided in ColdFusion support the following
•
hrule
•
text
•
html
The
type inserts an HTML
hrule
The
type displays HTML-formatted text. You can include standard HTML text markup tags, such as
html
or
and their attributes. For example, the following text from the
ul,
li,
shows how you could use a
cfformitem
<cfformitem type="html">
<b>We value your input</b>.<br>
<em>Please tell us a little about yourself and your thoughts.</em>
</cfformitem>
Using other skins: If you use any other skin, the supported attributes and attribute values depend on the skin
implementation. Get the information about the supported attributes and attribute values from the XSLT skin
developer.
Using cfformgroup tags
The
tag lets you structure forms by organizing its child tags, for example, to align them horizontally or
cfformgroup
vertically. Some skins use
cfformgroup
containers. ColdFusion makes no limitations on the
process the resulting XML to affect the display.
