"Button" tag vs. input type='button'

Although the tag has been around W3C for a while, Dreamweaver still creates buttons as "form buttons".


<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Click Me">

The form input button creates generic browser buttons, and can be customized using css. However, an easier way to manage the styling of buttons on your site is to use the "button" tag.


<button type="button">Click Me!</button>

This allows a developer to create and use push buttons outside of FORMS in a manner that is better suited for site styling and flexibility.

Quick & Dirty Tricks -- Using CFDUMP inside CFC -- Viewing All Methods, Pt. 2

In the second part of CFDump Q&D tricks, you can view the entire methods and settings for a CFC, just like you would see in the 'Live Data View' from inside Dreamweaver.

Placing in a CFC outside a function, but inside the tags starts the setup and produces a runtime dump that looks like this:

Clicking on the linked 'component' in that dump will open up the Live data View (note, you'll need administrator privileges to view the methods).

And, in keeping with Adobe's color coding, CFC Dumps are red :).

Quick & Dirty -- Using CFDUMP To View CFC Functions

CFDUMP is a quick way to see the contents of variables, structures, arrays, even queries. But it can also be used to quickly see at runtime the parameters and setup of a called CFC Function.

If a is placed inside a CFC Function, then at runtime, the dump generated shows the user quick information regarding the function itself.

Side Note: Adobe color codes cfdumps (if not overridden by CSS settings). variable and structure dumps are blue, arrays green, queries purple-ish, CFC Methods are red,and CFC functions are brown. Nice tough to pick out types of dumps.
