User Guide

cftextinput 337

• The cfform action attribute posts to the same page as the form itself (this is the default), or

the action page has a form that contains controls with the same names as corresponding

controls on the user entry form

For more information, see

cfform.

If the

cfform preserveData attribute is "yes", and the form posts back to the same page, the

posted value (not the value of the

value attribute) of the cftextinput control is used.

Example

<cftextinput name = "myInput"

value = "Look, this text is red!"

message = "This field must not be blank"

required = "Yes">
