Hi friends
I am Alejandro frok Argentina.I become a constant visitor to this excellent forum.
My question is about this tag
1-This tag doesn´t appears in the ColdFusion form tab.I don´t know why.
2- I am trying to buld a dynamic form to send emails.I inserted text fields with CFINPUT.
Then I would like to insert a field where the visitor enter the message body.I tried this using CFTEXTINPUT but when I insert this tag,as you know is a java applet,the background color is ALWAYS grey,no matter is I change the background color option,and I can´t select the text I entered or delete it.Am I using the correct tag?
Please I neeed some help! x-)

Thank you

Alejandro

Hi Alejandro,

Is there a reason you use <cftextinput> instead of just a regular <input type=&quot;text&quot;> tag? I never use the <cfform> tags so I can't advise you on the background color problem. If you use regular <html> tags to build your form, you shouldn't have the color problem though.

Hi GunJack!
Thank you for answering my question.
Now I am using CFINPUT tag with no problems.But I would like to insert a &quot;multi-line&quot; field so the visitor can enter her/his message.The reason I am using CFINPUT and CFFORM is the easier way to validate the field.
Could you indicate to me what is the equivalent CF tag for the TEXTAREA html tag? and how to use it?
Thank you again!!

Regards

Alejandro

Hey Alejandro,

I just checked and don't show a corresponding CF tag. You might try hard coding the same JS input checking into a regular <textarea> box. I don't work with the CF forms much so I can't say for sure but all they do is generate custom Java or JS routines to validate your code. I don't see any reason you couldn't invoke these from regular html elements.

Hope this helps,
GJ
