Vote Count: 1

Listed in the version 11.0.05.293506 Issues Fixed doc

Problem:

Conditions:
- One AutoSuggest CFINPUT
- Inside of a  CFLAYOUTAREA
- No other Form Inputs

Bug:
- If you just hit enter into that empty CFINPUT, it causes the CFLAYAOUTAREA to duplicate itself. But if you type something in and hit enter, it works fine, or if there is at least one other form input it works.
Method:

<cflayout name="search" type="tab">
  <cflayoutarea name="abc" title="ABC" style="height:200">
    <cfform name="myform" method="POST">
      <cfinput type="Text" name="Something" autosuggest="cfc:CF9Tests.LayoutIssue2.test.findSomething({cfautosuggestvalue})">
    </cfform>        
  </cflayoutarea>     
</cflayout>

The CFC doesn't even need to exist, just load up the code, click into the input and hit enter.

This is an existing bug in CF8 as well.

Actually a quick update. It doesn't have to be an auto-suggest cfinput, just any single cfinput.

<cflayout name="search" type="tab">

  <cflayoutarea name="abc" title="ABC" style="height:200">

    <cfform name="myform">

      <cfinput type="Text" name="Something">

    </cfform>        

  </cflayoutarea>     

</cflayout>

Adobe,

This is not completely fixed in CF11 Update 5 (and build 11.0.0.294632). It is only fixed if the form has a single input:

<cflayout name="myLayout" type="tab">
  <cflayoutarea name="myLayoutArea" title="title">
    <cfform>
      <cfinput type="text" name="myText">
    </cfform>
  </cflayoutarea>
</cflayout>

It is broken if the form has multiple inputs:

<cflayout name="myLayout" type="tab">
  <cflayoutarea name="myLayoutArea" title="title">
    <cfform>
      <cfinput type="text" name="myText">
      <cfinput type="radio" name="myRadio" value="my radio">
    </cfform>
  </cflayoutarea>
</cflayout>

<cflayout name="myLayout" type="tab">
  <cflayoutarea name="myLayoutArea" title="title">
    <cfform>
      <cfinput type="text" name="myText">
      <cfinput type="checkbox" name="myCheckbox" value="my checkbox">
    </cfform>
  </cflayoutarea>
</cflayout>

<cflayout name="myLayout" type="tab">
  <cflayoutarea name="myLayoutArea" title="title">
    <cfform>
      <cfinput type="text" name="myText">
      <cfinput type="button" name="myButton">
    </cfform>
  </cflayoutarea>
</cflayout>

<cflayout name="myLayout" type="tab">
  <cflayoutarea name="myLayoutArea" title="title">
    <cfform>
      <cfinput type="text" name="myText">
      <cfselect name="mySelect"></cfselect>
    </cfform>
  </cflayoutarea>
</cflayout>

Just click on any form field, then press the Enter key, and see the tab was duplicated. Same issue exists if the layout's type is changed to "border" (and probably any other type).

Can this ticket please be re-opened and fixed completely?

Thanks!,

Aaron/Tariq,

If the cfform tag does not have the action attribute set, it defaults to the current script.
for example the following test.cfm page :
    <cfform name="layoutform" method="POST">
      <cfinput type="Text" name="inputbox">
    </cfform>    

will generate the following html code:
<form name="layoutform" id="layoutform" action="/layout/bugs/test.cfm" method="POST" onsubmit="return _CF_checklayoutform(this)"> 
<input name="inputbox" id="inputbox" type="text"> 
</form>

This is what is causing the duplication. So, the issue in this bug will only manifest if the cfform does not specify the action attribute,
Fixing this would be at the cost of changing this default behavior in case the cfform tag is used inside layout control.
But that can interfere with cases where this is behavior is desired.

Example:
<cfif isdefined("inputbox")>
	Form submitted!! logic to process form.
	<cfabort>
</cfif>
<cflayout name="layoutcontainer" type="tab">
  <cflayoutarea name="layoutarea" title="Text Input">
    <cfform name="layoutform" method="POST">
      <cfinput type="Text" name="inputbox">
    </cfform>        
  </cflayoutarea>     
</cflayout>

If you remove the if block, in the code above you can observe the issue. But the issue can be easily handled by using the action attribute.
Thoughts?

Verified this is completely fixed in CF2016 Update 1 (build 2016.0.01.298513).

The issue I mentioned on 08/13/2015 23:17:19 GMT (issue not fixed if form contains 2+ fields) still exists in CF11 Update 7 (build 11.0.07.296330), but is fixed in 2016.0.01.298513.

Sorry, Piyush, for the late reply. This issue should be listed in CF2016's list of Issues Fixed.

Thanks!,
-Aaron
