type
(continued)
• hdividedbox: aligns children horizontally. Each child is
in a box with a border, and there are dividers between
the boxes that users can move to change the relative
sizes of the children. Use a tag with this attribute to
arrange groups of form controls horizontally. You
cannot use this attribute to align individual controls
horizontally.
• vdividedbox: aligns children vertically. Each child is in a
box with a border, and there are dividers between the
boxes that users can move to change the relative sizes
of the children. Use this type to group form controls, for
example as a unit in an hbox form group. Do not use
this attribute to align individual tags vertically.
• panel: a container consisting of a title bar containing
the
label attribute text, a border, and a content area
with vertically arranged children.
• tile: places the children in a rectangular grid.
• accordion: places each child in a pleat of an expanding
and contracting accordion. Define each pleat using a
cfformgroup type="page" tag.
• tabnavigator: places the children in a tabbed dialog
box. Define each tab using a
cfformgroup type="page"
tag.
• page: places the children tags, aligned vertically, in a
single tab of a parent tabnavigator or pleat of an
accordion container.
query Required for
type=
repeater
,
ignored
otherwise;
Flash
The query to use with the repeater. Flash creates an
instance of each of the
cfformgroup tag’s child tags for
each row in the query. You can use the
bind attribute in
the child tags to use data from the query row for the
instance.
startrow Optional;
Flash
0Used only for the
repeater type; ignored otherwise.
Specifies the row number of the first row of the query to
use in the Flash form repeater. This attribute is zero-
based: the first row is row 0, not row 1 (as in most
ColdFusion tags).
maxrows Optional;
Flash
Used only for the
repeater type; ignored otherwise.
Specifies the maximum number of query rows to use in
the Flash form repeater. If the query has more rows than
the sum of the
startrow attribute and this value, the
repeater does not use the remaining rows.
