Setting CFTextArea properties (ColdFusion)

Use this Property inspector to set the properties of a ColdFusion text area.

To set the CFTextArea properties:

  • Set any of the following options in the Property inspector:

    Cftextarea lets you specify a unique name for the control.

    Char Width lets you set the number of characters per line.

    Num Lines lets you set the number of rows to display in the text area.

    Wrap lets you specify how you want the text entered by users to wrap.

    Required lets you specify whether the user must enter data in the field (checked) or not (unchecked).

    Initial Value lets you specify text to display in the text area when the page is initially opened in a browser.

    Validate specifies the type of validation for the field.

    Validate At specifies when the field is validated: onSubmit, onBlur, or onServer.

    Label lets you specify a label for the control.

    Style lets you specify a style for the control. For more information, see the ColdFusion documentation.

    Height lets you specify the height of the control, in pixels. This property is ignored by the ColdFusion server at runtime.
