error on all hidden type for tag cfinpit . help!

[piaposa]

I've a problem with some coldfusion 6.1 scripts running on a server with coldfusion 7.
It seems that it isn't accepting the hidden type for the tag cfinput, as it throws an error
described on the following lines:

The value of the attribute TYPE, which is currently "Hidden", must be
one of the values: RADIO,CHECKBOX,PASSWORD,TEXT.

The error occurred in
D:\hshome\user102\midasadmin.com\admin\pharmacies_edit.cfm: line 251

249 :
250 : <cfform>
251 : <cfinput type="Hidden" name="shipments" value="TRUE">


This code was working good on a coldfusion mx 6.1 server, but it wont work in the new server. When reffering to the knowledge base this code appears to be right and should run OK on a server with CF 7.

Is there anything wrong on that line?
or what could be the problem here?


please if you can reply to my email as well.

THANKS! 🙂

Which precise version of CFMX7? Your code works fine for me on
7,0,2,142559.

With such simple requirements for the tag: why are you even bothering using
<cfinput> rather that just a simple <input> tag? You're not using any of
the functionality that <cfinput> adds to the mix.

You did not answer my question as to why you want to use <cfinput> in this
situation anyhow?

Does <cfinput...> support the hidden input type? What benefit would a
<cfinput> bring to a hidden field? I would think you would want to use
basic <input...> tags for these fields.

this is a very complex application. I'm not including all the code here. This application was built by somebody else and was 100% functional as i was one of its users.

we are trying to make it live again.

the cfinput is just a single tiny detail, i dunno why they'd use a cf tag but we cannot fix more than 500 files right now.
we have to stick to what already was working. I was just wondering why would this cause an error

Well you could do one of these:
1) reinstall CF, as it looks like your current one is bung.
2) simply change the - completely redundant and incorrect - <cfinput> with
an equivalent <input>.

Those, by the sounds of it, are your options.

It's up to you.

I know what *I'd* be doing, though.
