Ok, I'm not finding any examples anywhere of what the bindAttribute in a cfselect, cfinput, etc do. Can ANYONE give me an example of what this attribute does and how to use it?

    Look under the "usage" area for examples.

    In summary, bind allows you to complete or alter a field based on other fields.


    The BindAttribute tells CF what attribute to alter in the tag based on a bind ffield and is only usable in certain version of the tags - i.e. with CFINPUT it can only be used on the type "text".

    Thanks for the info SafariTECH, but I looked all through that link, and there is still not a single example that uses the bindAttribute value. I've got the bind down, no problem, but I am VERY curious what exactly the bindAttribute does since I can't seem to find ANYONE or ANY example that uses it.

    Here's one of their examples:
    <cfinput type="text" name="email" label="email" bind="{firstName.text}.{lastName.text}@mm.com">

    Now, what would this do:
    <cfinput type="text" name="email" label="email" bind="{firstName.text}.{lastName.text}@mm.com" bindAttribute="???????">

    I'm just very curious what the bindAttribute attribute is, how you use it, and what it does.

    Anyone have a suggestion or example?
