Coldfusion 8 and cfwindow and other UI tags
Tags: Coldfusion
This will be nothing new to other seasoned users to ColdFusion, or even those who have used extJS.
In a recent post to a mailing list a user seemed to be confused about the use of how cfwindow is actually used when it comes to the browser.
When it comes to these sort of ajax, or UI interface tags the best thing to remember is that when using a html page, that somewhere on that page there is a container.
For those who are new to it, then think of it as a container that is reformatted using JS that will allow you to do things you would think is not normally possible. So if you haven't seen frameworks like extJS, Dojo, YUI etc., then you need to.
Basically what they do is tag an element on the html page that is returned to the browser, and enhance the functionality of design of it. In the case of cfwindow for ColdFusion 8, you need to think of this framework and that it is a normal div in the page, that is controlled by CSS and JS to behave in a different way than you would expect.
