Ok, responding to my own email here. The author of the article is a good friend of mine so I spoke to him about this. Apparently what he means is that you can write a function that applies SPECIFICALLY to the instance of the textbox. I.e., I can write a function just for txtCustomer, an instance of button. He mentioned that when you work with foo.aspx, you end up with a page called foo.aspx.cs that is tied to the original page. Forgive me if I don't quite get the terminology correct.
This is certainly possible in CF. You could easily write a button.cfm that says, if <caller>.cfm.cs exists, cfinclude it and handle any events if they are defined in <caller>.cfm.cs. While it may not be as built-in as ASPX, I'd say it's doable. <CAVEAT!!!>Again, I'm not an ASPX expert, so feel free to pick this apart.</CAVEAT> ======================================================================== === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc (www.mindseye.com) Member of Team Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/go/teammacromedia) Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 11:54 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: RE: RE: RE: MSDN on CF -> ASP.net > > > What you mean the objects on the page, you mean these things: > > <asp:textbox id="txtCustomer" width="462px" runat="server" /> > > If I use > > <tags:textbox> > > I can very easily edit textbox.cfm to change how the textbox acts. > > > Please show me the equivalent CF code.
