Yea, my boss asked for next/last buttons below the tabset which are using the js integration to increment or decrement the selected tab. Which I must admit is easier to do with your tabs than it would have been with mine, since, although there's great support for low-level javascript in the framework, the tabsets don't have a real JS API attached to them currently. And with the onTap framework's tabsets supporting multiple rows that raises some additional questions about what exactly next/last and selectedIndex really mean. So like your syntax issues and my cfgrid issues, it's getting a back-seat for the time being. s. isaac dealey 954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Datagrid is actually one of the few flash elements which I unfortunately haven't replicated with the framework -- at least not yet. It's too bad that the tag requires cfform and so can't be used for this -- or at least not easily. Which means when I do manage to find/make the time to implement an alternative I will have to implement the Flash datagrid myself. There are a few other alternatives for forms, although afaik none quite as thorough with the possible exception of PLUM which I haven't had time to really look into. You might give it a look if you're using Windows and don't mind installing the .NET framework. http://www.productivityenhancement.com/ XSL isn't terribly difficult -- or at least it wasn't for me... It does take some getting used to tho, and there are a few learning-curve issues that can be kinda hairy, like it took me a while to find the syntax to copy all the attributes from a given tag (iirc it's ) and case-sensitivity can be a real bitch. > I saw this http://clearsoftware.net/jComponents1%5F0/ on > the list this morning which has some nice looking ones. They're not bad -- I would have prefered they use slightly different syntax for the tabsets, but we're using them at the office where I work currently. (It's a large existing application and it's not really feasible to rewrite the whole app in any given framework, onTap or otherwise.) the jComponents tabsets use: ... tab 1 content here ... ... tab 2 content here ... I'd have preferred ... tab 1 content here ... tab 2 ... tab 2 content here... Which is roughly equivalent of the xml syntax for the onTap tabs. my 2c :) s. isaac dealey 954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: CFForm Inside a Custom Tag?
I appreciate your recommendations, the onTap framework definitely looks like a powerful tool, but I think implementation might take me too long for this current project (I've never used xsl). I'll be sure to look into on my next one. Do you know of any other possible replacements of cfforms with datagrids and other form elements? I saw this http://clearsoftware.net/jComponents1%5F0/ on the list this morning which has some nice looking ones. Thanks, Kenton On Feb 22, 2005, at 6:26 PM, S.

Re: CFForm Inside a Custom Tag?
No you won't be able to use a cfform tag in a custom tag using this syntax... Unfortunately putting conditional logic around a cfform tag must encompas both the start and end cfform tags, so your cfcase statements around each tag ( and then ) breaks the context of the cfform tag which will always throw an error. What flash form features were you hoping to use? You probably have a few options. One would be to try out the onTap framework (which is open-source and therefore free), and see if you like it's dhtml alternatives to the flash features like tabsets, etc. Alternatively you could create several "wrapper" tags for your form input elements, i.e. something like these: panel.cfm #thistag.input[x].format# input.cfm To use these your code in the calling template would look something like this: ... html formatting here... ... more html formatting... ... etc... You would of course need to mirror all the attributes of the cfinput tag and there would probably be some additional squirrelling involved with the cfselect and cftextarea tags. I'm biased of course, I think you'd get more mileage (and fewer headaches) out of something like this: http://www.fusiontap.com/demo/powerontap.htm Which would allow you to use an XSL transformation to provide your standardized formatting with a form using a tabset for instance... which as far as I know (I could be wrong) is mutually exclusive with MX7's cfform tag features (xforms vs. flash forms). hth s. isaac dealey 954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=44477&DE=1 http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=45569&DE=1 http://www.fusiontap.com > I'm trying to create a custom tag (a panel), that just > creates a cfform > with some divs in it and a standard button layout.

CFForm Inside a Custom Tag?
I'm trying to create a custom tag (a panel), that just creates a cfform with some divs in it and a standard button layout. This seemed natural to me after seeing the petmarket example that used a wrapper to set up the default html. First let me show you my way simplified code I made for testing: Here is the custom tag (panel.cfm) : __ And here is my use in a cfm page: User Name: Password: __ The Error I get is: Context validation error for tag CFFORM. The end tag encoutered on line 10 at column 19 requires a matching start tag. I see what the problem is, but there must be someway to pull this off. I was really looking forward to using some of the flash form elements. Is this just impossible or am I missing something simple Thanks in advance!
