ColdFusion XML format
The XML generated from a ColdFusion
toward creating your own XSL skins.
XML namespace use
The XML that ColdFusion generates for forms uses elements and attributes in several XML namespaces. Namespaces
are named collections of names that help ensure that XML names are unique. They often correspond to a web standard,
a specific document type definition (DTD), or a schema. In XML, the namespace name and a colon (:) precede the name
of the tag that is defined in that namespace; for example
ColdFusion uses several standard XML namespaces defined by the World Wid Web Consortium (W3C). These
namespaces correspond to specifications for standard XML dialects such as XHTML, XForms, and XML Events.
ColdFusion XML forms also use a custom namespace for skinnable forms XML extensions. The following table lists
the namespaces in the XML that ColdFusion generates.
