Just upgraded from ColdFusion

<World-Wide Web, database, tool> {Allaire Corporation}'s
	commercial {database} application development tool that allows
	{databases} to have a {World-Wide Web} {interface}, so a
	database can be queried and updated using a {web browser}.

	The ColdFusion Server application runs on the {web server} and
	has access to a {database}.  ColdFusion files on the web
	server are {HTML} pages with additional ColdFusion commands to
	{query} or {update} the database, written in {CFML}.  When the
	page is requested by the user, the {web server} passes the
	page to the Cold Fusion application, which executes the {CFML}
	commands, places the results of the {CFML} commands in the
	{HTML} file, and returns the page to the {web server}.  The
	page returned to the {web server} is now an ordinary {HTML}
	file, and it is sent to the user.

	Examples of ColdFusion applications include order entry, event
	registration, catalogue search, directories, calendars, and
	interactive training.  ColdFusion applications are robust
	because all database interactions are encapsulated in a single
	industrial-strength {CGI} script.  The formatting and
	presentation can be modified and revised at any time (as
	opposed to having to edit and recompile {source code}).

	ColdFusion Server can connect with any database that supports
	{ODBC} or {OLE DB} or one that has a native database driver.
	Native database drivers are available for {Oracle} and
	{Sybase} databases.

	ColdFusion is available for {Windows}, {Solaris}, and {HP-UX}.
	A {development environment} for creating ColdFusion files,
	called ColdFusion Studio, is also available for {Windows}.

	Current version: MX(6), as of 2003-07-11.

	The {filename extension} for ColdFusion files is .cfm

	{Home (http://www.coldfusion.com/)}.

MX 6 to MX 7. Trying out flash forms, but they aren't
working.

I tried out a simple First Name, Last name, Submit form setting the form to
flash. When viewing the page in Safari, Firefox

<World-Wide Web> A complete {free}, {open-source} {web
	browser} from the {Mozilla Foundation} and therefore a true
	code descendent of {Netscape Navigator}.  The first non-{beta
	release} was in late 2004.

	{Firefox Home (http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox)}.

	(2005-01-26)

on a Mac and IE in Windows

<operating system> See {Microsoft Windows}, {Windows NT}.

	(1997-11-23)

the
page is blank. If I set take out the flash tag

<language, text> An {SGML}, {HTML}, or {XML} {token}
	representing the beginning (start tag: "<p ...>") or end (end
	tag: "</p>") of an {element}.  In normal SGML {syntax} (and
	always in {XML}), a tag starts with a "<" and ends with an
	">".

	In {HTML} jargon, the term "tag" is often used for an
	"{element}".

and just leave it as a CFFORM it
shows perfectly in all browsers. All browsers are able to view flash and
shockwave files.

Not sure what is going on.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

code

<software> Instructions for a computer in some programming
	language, often {machine language}.  The word "code" is often
	used to distinguish instructions from {data} (e.g. "The code
	is marked 'read-only'") whereas "{software}" is used in
	contrast with "{hardware}" and may consist of more than just
	code.

Code:
<CFFORM format="flash" width=500"
<CFINPUT type

<theory, programming> (Or "data type") A set of values from
	which a {variable}, {constant}, {function}, or other
	{expression} may take its value.  A type is a classification
	of data that tells the {compiler} or {interpreter} how the
	programmer intends to use it.  For example, the process and
	result of adding two variables differs greatly according to
	whether they are integers, floating point numbers, or strings.

	Types supported by most programming languages include
	{integers} (usually limited to some range so they will fit in
	one {word} of storage), {Booleans}, {floating point numbers},
	and characters.  {Strings} are also common, and are
	represented as {lists} of characters in some languages.

	If s and t are types, then so is s -> t, the type of
	{functions} from s to t; that is, give them a term of type s,
	functions of type s -> t will return a term of type t.

	Some types are {primitive} - built-in to the language, with no
	visible internal structure - e.g. Boolean; others are
	composite - constructed from one or more other types (of
	either kind) - e.g. {lists}, {arrays}, {structures}, {unions}.
	{Object-oriented programming} extends this with {classes}
	which encapsulate both the structure of a type and the
	operations that can be performed on it.

	Some languages provide {strong typing}, others allow {implicit
	type conversion} and/or {explicit type conversion}.

="text" name= "firstname">
<CFINPUT type="text" name="lastname">
<CFINPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="save"
</CFFORM>

If I leave as is I get a blank page.

If I take out the format="flash" statement, the fields and submit button

1. <electronics> {push-button}.

	2. <operating system> A graphical representation of an
	electrical {push-button} appearing as part of a {graphical
	user interface}.  Moving the {mouse pointer} over the
	graphical button and pressing one of the physical mouse
	buttons starts some software action such as closing a window
	or deleting a file.

	See also {radio button}.

Hello

Have you try to put the height statement on the CFFORM tag?

have you tried putting a name for the form, i haven'ticed that sometimes its needed.

I am having the exact same issue. I have tried tutorial code from several
sites. I have added a name to my form. I checked to make sure my CFIDE
directory is mapped in my CFADMIN. I do not know what else to try. Right now I
have the exact same code for testing

<testing> The process of exercising a product to identify
	differences between expected and actual behaviour.  Typically
	testing is bottom-up: {unit testing} and {integration testing}
	by developers, {system testing} by testers, and {user
	acceptance testing} by users.

	{Test coverage} attempts to assess how complete a test has
	been.

	2. The second stage in a {generate and test} search
	{algorithm}.

as mishuno has. If I remove the type
attribute I see a form. If I add back in "format="flash"" I don;t see anything
on the screen

1. <hardware> A generic term for a {display device} that shows
	text and/or images on a roughly flat rectangular surface.  The
	most common type is usually refered to as a "{monitor}" and is
	based on a {cathode-ray tube}, though {flat panel} displays
	have, since around 2000, become increasingly competitive in
	price and performance.

	(2005-07-28)

	2. A {screen multiplexer} utility which lets you run multiple
	{interactive} {terminal sessions} (and {curses} programs)
	through a single terminal connection (on one {virtual
	console}, one terminal, through one {modem} link, {telnet}
	session or {xterm}).

	Screen can detach processes from one terminal and attach them
	to another.  "Auto-detach" lets you continue working after
	being disconnected and reconnected.  It supports keyboard
	driven cut and paste from any text and/or curses application
	(like {Lynx}) to any other (like {xemacs}).

	Screen comes with many {Linux} distributions and is available
	(free) on many other {Unix} {platforms}.

<CFFORM width="500" name="testForm">

I fixed my problem by un-installing and re-installing ColdFusion on my server.
