cfUniForm v3.4 Released

Posted on August 5, 2009 at 10:06 PM in ColdFusion, Uni-Form Tag Library

Wow. I have been so busy with things lately that I just realized that I forgot to release the latest version of cfUniForm. Well, that and I finally took a much needed vacation. :-)

This release contains a handful of minor bug fixes and a few new features, most of which are from new contributors to the library! So let's take a quick glance under the hood.

What's New?

Thanks to Byron Raines, cfUniForm now natively supports multiple selects. To create a multiple select, simply add the selectSize attribute to your tag, and set it to the number of selects.

1. <uform:field label="A Select Box"
2. name="selectbox"
3. type="select"
4. selectSize="5">
5. <option value="1">Option A</option>
6. <option value="2">Option B</option>
7. <option value="3">Option C</option>
8. <option value="4">Option D</option>
9. <option value="5">Option E</option>
10. </uform:field>

Also thanks to Byron Raines, you can now specify the ID attribute of each field in your form. If you are using dot notated field names, say, with Brian Kotek's form utilities library, this new attribute will come in quite handy.

Not a feature, per se, but the download now includes a cfUniForm dictionary definition file for use with CFEclipse. A big thank you to Mary Jo Sminkey for contributing this to the library.

Another new set of files included in the download are option tags for Swiss states in each of the following languages: German, French, Italian, Rumantsch and English. A huge thank you to Mischa Sameli for contributing these to the library.

This download also includes an expanded set of snippets for CFEclipse.

Behavior Change

As of cfUniForm v3.4, the showCancel attribute defaults to false.

Bug Fixes

A few minor bug fixes are included. Most of them are so tiny that I actually don't even remember what they were. Here are a couple of the ones I do remember:

• Conditional CSS include for IE8. Thanks to Curt Gratz for pointing this out.
• isRequired on radio buttons has been fixed. Thanks to Ilya Fedotov for pointing this out.

As always, thank you to each cfUniForm contributor and to those who offer their kind words of support. You guys rock! :-)
