Insert ColdFusion buttons

You can visually insert a ColdFusion button into your form and set its properties. ColdFusion buttons control ColdFusion form operations. Buttons can be used to submit ColdFusion form data to the server or to reset the ColdFusion form. Standard ColdFusion buttons are typically labeled Submit, Reset, or Send. You can also assign other processing tasks that you defined in a script. For example, the button might calculate the total cost of selected items based on assigned values.

Note: This enhancement is available only if you have access to a computer running ColdFusion MX 7 or later.
  1. Place the insertion point inside the ColdFusion form outline.
  2. In the CFForm category of the Insert bar, click the CF Button icon.

    A button appears in the ColdFusion form.

  3. Select the button on the page and set any of the following options in the Property inspector:
    Cfbutton
    Lets you specify a unique name for the control.

    Action
    Lets you specify the type of button to create.

    Display Tag Editor
    Lets you edit properties not listed in the Property inspector.

    The other properties are ignored by the ColdFusion server at run time.
