Hello
Site has been built using coldfusion cfform's format=flash hosted on godaddy linux.
However, over the last 3 days, the cfforms that used to work (and nothing changed on code) stopped working.
The screen is just blank.
Even a sample form such as one below has stopped working:
<html>
<body>
<cfform name="test1" width="100" height="100" format="flash">
<cfinput name="button1" type="button" label="click">
</cfform>
</body>
</html>
At times, the server seems to be rebooting and things seem okay intermittently for a minute or so.
For the last few months, these forms have not had any problem.
Looking around, I sent Godaddy a number of solutions, but they didnt seem to think it was anything on their end (nothing has apparently changed):
* Check the CFIDE mapping and scripts
* Ensure cfform has name, width, height
BTW, if I change format="html" or "xml" form shows up (but I want the cool flash format).
Questions:
a) Any ideas on this - Really stuck as I dont have access to the servers
b) Is there any joint Godaddy/Adobe support for this?
c) Any way to log and debug this w.r.t. coldfusion (I do know about the cfdump tag, but thats not enough)
d) Is there any emergency solution when such things occur to bring site back up to function? (I tried pragma no-cache, timeout=0 etc nothing worked).
Thanks in advance

Do they break in all browsers or just IE?
I have noticed that in a badly formed document (no doctype,unclosed head tag etc) or a file that is slightly corrupted - the forms stop rendering in IE unless fixed.
