On a sober note, my previous post brings to mind an entry in
/usr/share/games/fortune/science (Redhat Linux) which I've accidentaly read
some time ago. Allow me to post it here:
A Severe Strain on the Credulity
As a method of sending a missile to the higher, and even to the highest
parts of the earth's atmospheric envelope, Professor Goddard's rocket is a
practicable and therefore promising device. It is when one considers the
multiple-charge rocket as a traveler to the moon that one begins to doubt...
for after the rocket quits our air and really starts on its journey, its flight
would be neither accelerated nor maintained by the explosion of the charges it
then might have left. Professor Goddard, with his "chair" in Clark College and
countenancing of the Smithsonian Institution, does not know the relation of
action to re-action, and of the need to have something better than a vacuum
against which to react... Of course he only seems to lack the knowledge ladled
out daily in high schools.
-- New York Times Editorial, 1920
I really don't want to be like that New York Times Editor, so I'll keep my
emotions in check next time. Anyway, I played with ColdFusion 6.1 MX and I was
able to use <input> inside a <cfform>. Here is the code:
<cfparam name="FORM.Parameters" default="true">
<cfparam name="FORM.test" default="none">
<cfoutput>
#FORM.Parameters#<br />
#FORM.test#
</cfoutput>
<cfform action="colon.cfm">
This is a test:
<input type="text" name="test" id="name" />
<input name="parameters" id="parameters" type="hidden" value="false" />
<input type="submit" />
</cfform>
The above code works perfectly fine, except that I can't pass my form variables
using the GET method because <cfform> automatically changes it to POST.
