Actually CFFORM is no different than a HTML form except that it writes its
own Javascript. CFGRID definitely has its uses and it may work very well
for what you are planning. Sometimes there are issues getting the grid
applet to load, but you can solve them by making sure that the CFIDE folder
is accessible from the web root.
p.s. CFGRID has to be inside a CFFORM

Subject: CFFORM vs. CFGRID
Hey all...
Question about editing database information. I have an inventory database
that I want users to be able to update via a web interface. For the initial
entry, I have a screen that enters a single item, then updates the database
(Access at the moment). For editing purposes, I'd like them to be able to
edit up to 10 records at a time.
Is this suited more to CFGRID, or CFFORM? (As you can tell, I am on the
newer side of the CF fence.)
And, does CFGRID handle entering in 10 new records at a time? Or should I
stick with the single page entry? (Users sometimes will be entering in
quite a few new items, and single screen entry gets long and tedious).
Any opinions? Or is there something even better out there that I haven't
seen yet?
