Insert ColdFusion buttons
You can visually insert a ColdFusion button into your form and set its properties. ColdFusion buttons control
ColdFusion form operations. Buttons can be used to submit ColdFusion form data to the server or to reset the
ColdFusion form. Standard ColdFusion buttons are typically labeled Submit, Reset, or Send. You can also assign
other processing tasks that you defined in a script. For example, the button might calculate the total cost of selected
items based on assigned values.
