Questions tagged [cfwindow]

Questions regarding the `cfwindow` tag introduced in ColdFusion 8.

The cfwindow tag allows you to "[Create] a pop-up window in the browser. Does not create a separate browser pop-up instance".

The window is generated through ExtJS, and can contain preconfigured content from the parent HTML, or it can make AJAX requests to a separate process to get the content. The possibilities are pretty much endless with cfwindow. However, there are some peculiarities around how JavaScript/CSS are processed inside the window itself that cause most of the "problems" with cfwindow.

You can learn more about at the ColdFusion Help Docs. There's a separate section specifically about how to use the cfwindow popups and how to manually manipulate them with built in JavaScript functions.
