CFTEXTINPUT can be used to provide simple validation for text

fields in CFFORM and to have control over font information

displayed in CFFORM input boxes for text. For example, the field

provided below must not

be blank, and provides a client-side message upon erring.

<H3>You entered <CFOUTPUT>#form.myInput#</CFOUTPUT> into the text box

</H3>

</CFIF>
