IMPORTANT: Uni-Form Tag Library Info

Posted on June 10, 2008 at 7:15 PM in ColdFusion, Uni-Form Tag Library, jQuery

The other day I announced the v2 release of the Uni-Form Custom Tag Library, which contains a number of enhancements and jQuery plugin integrations. One thing *very* important detail that I forgot to mention:

If you are using the Validation plugin, you *must* use jQuery 1.2.2 or higher.

As long as you are using the current release you are fine, since it is at 1.2.6 as of this posting. If you use anything 1.2.1 or earlier, you will have all sorts of JavaScript errors being thrown.

Update

This post only applies to those of you who are loading jQuery on your own. If you are relying on the tags to load jQuery for you, jQuery-1.2.6 is the release that is loaded. :-)

It's been almost six months now since I released v1 of the library, so I figured it was high time I make time to add some enhancements. Here's a quick overview of the new features:

• Integrated dependencies
• Integrated support for the following jQuery plugins
  • Date Picker
  • Time Entry
  • Input Masking
  • Validation
• Path Configuration

Let's look at some of the new goodies in more detail...

More XHTML Forms - Custom Forms and The Uni-Form Custom Tag Library

Posted on December 30, 2007 at 2:58 PM in ColdFusion, Uni-Form Tag Library

In my original post releasing the tag library I said that I'd post more as I had time to do so. I figured that today I'd take a short break from what I've been working on and write something up.

First, I should point out that there have been a couple of changes made, so the download has been updated. Be sure to get the latest files. The changes mostly involve textareas: (a) I had forgotten to output the provided value, and (b) I updated the fieldset.cfm and field.cfm files to trim() any content generated by the tags. (The trim() is not mission-critical, just cleans up the resultant HTML a little bit.)

So, without further ado, let's get to it.

Uni-Form Custom Tag Update

Posted on December 17, 2007 at 12:23 AM in ColdFusion, Uni-Form Tag Library

Oooops! I left out one little piece of important code with the original demo zip file. For those who downloaded it prior to about 11PM Eastern on Sunday night (12/16/07), you'll need this little snippet added to your form page so that it'll render properly in IE6 and below.

1. <!--[if lte ie 6]>
2. <style type="text/css" media="screen">
3. .uniForm,
4. .uniForm fieldset,
5. .uniForm .ctrlHolder,
6. .uniForm .formHint{ /* Trigger hasLayout, move to your IE specific stylesheet if possible */
7. zoom:1;
8. }
9. </style>
10. <![endif]-->

If you hadn't previously downloaded, the new zip file has the code plugged into the index.cfm file.
