My first answer will likely be voted down, but to force modal input of a single field in a "popup" mechanism, you could just use a _javascript_ prompt dialog: http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_prompt

Sadly, that one can not be styled. But you can search "jquery prompt" for a bunch of libraries which can present a dhtml modal input mechanism - which present like a popup - while keeping the data from your original page load very handy.

The fact that CFML was used to get the data from the server to the page (and back) is inconsequential to the front end now days, given the wealth of ways to manipulate the window once the page & data is actually there. That's one reason that tags like CFINPUT, CFFORM and CFWINDOW are loosing their support over time.

On behalf of me & nobody else in particular, welcome to the group! Good luck.

I am looking through the openbd functions right now. But as I wanted to join the google group anyways, thought I would ask;

Since cfwindow is not an option. What would be the preferred method of creating a popup window with a single input text field. Ideally the server has access to the data directly (hoping to not have to completely repost to the page.) 

Thanks,
Carl
