I haven’t written about ColdFusion Flash Forms in a while (I’m a Flex user now that you no longer need a server to create the content). However, this morning I got an interesting question from “trifide” that I hadn’t considered before, so I’m making a brief return into cfform land:

In a previous article I demonstrated a workaround approach to dynamically changing the label of a cfinput field in a ColdFusion Flash Form. Thanks to some great feedback from Laura Arguello, I’ve now worked out some improvements to the solution, so that it doesn’t require a “fake” label as the previous approach did. So, here […]

Note: After I wrote this article, Laura Arguello offered some valuable feedback which led me to a similar but better solution. Since I learned something new, I wanted to pass it along, so this article is now superseded by (a better way to) dynamically change a cfinput field’s label.

Part 4 of My first foray into ColdFusion Flash Forms.
Note: This article will make more sense if you read the previous one first.
