It is probably important to ask here if you understand that all the <cfform...> <cfinput...> <cfselect...> tags are only code widgets that generate standard HTML and JavaScript for the developer. They do not do anything that a developer could not do on their own. There is nothing that will live on the server after the HTML and JavaScript has been generated and the response has been sent to the client. If you want to save the form meta information is session or a database rather then send it to the client, that would be possible and would work just like saving in HTML form fields. But it is still up to you to develop this logic when the HTML form is built. There is no back door to the stateless nature of HTTP requests and response, only work arounds. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
