Creating Forms
Before you can create a search form, you need to learn how ColdFusion interacts with HTML forms. Listing 12.1 contains the code for a sample form that prompts for a first and last name. Create this template, then save it in a new folder named 12 (under the application root) as form1.cfm.
Tip
As a reminder, the files created in this chapter are in directory 12, so use that in your URLs too.
