As I understand it, you can write your own HTML generation code, and use CFIMPORT to invoke that code when an HTML tag is parsed. For example, you can create a page called form.cfm, and use CFIMPORT within the page to instruct the page to run form.cfm whenever an HTML form tag is encountered. Unfortunately, I can't find this described anywhere in the CF MX documentation - I saw it in the release notes from a beta. I've got a code sample I can dig up, if you're interested. You can use this with any HTML tag - not just forms. > Good info.

Would/do you use it > through COM instead of CFHTTP? Yes, I've used them successfully instead of CFHTTP. I've been very happy with them as a component vendor, with other components, in the past, as well. On the other hand, I wouldn't use COM with CF MX; I've been playing with the Jakarta io JSP tag library as a CFHTTP replacement for CF MX. I haven't tried it with HTTPS yet, though.
