CFFORM and CFINPUT questions

[alecken]

Hi! I have not used CF for a long time and I'm coming back to CF 2021. I kind of recall that the older CF generations abandon CFFORM and CFINPUT or if it wasn't abandon I did not use them in my codes because I remember many CF programmers suggested me not to use them as they cause or may cause many issues (couldn't remember what exactly after all these years). With the newer CF version since 2016 does CF fixed or revised CFFORM and CFINPUT tags and they are now safe to use? I prefer to use these tags if they are not causing issues as I build a lot of forms (simple mostly) and required form authentication for required fields and so on. Using CFFORM, CFINPUTs actually help me speed up my work instead of building javascript everytime. Thank you for validating my knowledge as I've been absent from CF for so long.

I don't know if they're abandoned. But they do limit you to whatever implementation of JavaScript libraries etc that CF currently uses for them. So, you might not want to use them at all. The JavaScript you'd use instead isn't usually very complicated. If you do use them, just keep that limitation in mind.

Thanks Dave!, yes you are right they are limited in that case I'll keep using javascript then. Thanks again!
