ColdFusion 11 deprecating Flash forms what used to replace cfgrid?

We recently updated from CF8 to CF11. Getting ready to create interfaces with several new databases. Need to use something like CFGRID in new forms, but since that is a Flash form component and Flash forms are deprecated in CF11, what is the alternative for non-Flash forms for those who need a sub-form with ADD/EDIT/DELETE features like CFGRID? Looks like spreadsheets feature is just for data output/display, not data input.

    Thanks Carl. I have noticed that jQuery seems to be the answer. Just wanted to check that I was not overlooking something in the new version.

    I'd recommend moving away from CFGRID and using a community-supported UI library that does what you need, such as jQuery and JQGrid or Datatables.  There are several JavaScript grid controls/libraries out there.
