ColdFusion CFDIV Bind: Show query data without page refresh

Introduction In Adobe ColdFusion, dynamic web applications can be easily built using server-side scripting. One powerful feature of ColdFusion is its ability to update parts of a webpage without refreshing the entire page, thanks to the use of AJAX-powered components like <cfdiv> . This example demonstrates how to use the <cfdiv> tag with the bind attribute to dynamically display query data based on user selection, without causing a full page refresh. This technique enhances user experience by making the interface more interactive and responsive. The tutorial involves two ColdFusion templates: cfdivBind.cfm and EmployeeDetails.cfm . The first template contains a form where users can select an employee, and the second template retrieves and displays the employee details based on the selection. This workflow showcases how ColdFusion can simplify AJAX functionality with minimal code, ensuring that server interactions are efficient and seamless. Overview of the Main Template...

ColdFusion: Create an authentication system using CFLOGIN, CFLOGINUSER and CFLOGOUT

Introduction In this tutorial, we will explore how to create a simple authentication system using Adobe ColdFusion's built-in tags like cflogin , cfloginuser , and cflogout . ColdFusion provides an easy and efficient way to manage user authentication by leveraging these tags, allowing developers to implement login and logout functionalities with minimal effort. In this article, we will break down a practical example that demonstrates how these tags work together to manage user sessions and protect content from unauthorized access. The provided example showcases a basic authentication system that checks the user’s credentials, logs them in if correct, and provides the option to log out. It also features a conditional display of protected content, which is only visible to authenticated users. Let’s walk through each part of this example to understand how ColdFusion handles user authentication. Handling User Login The core of the authentication system begins with a conditional block t...
