Description
Disables the source bind.
Function syntax
ColdFusion.Layout.disableSourceBind(Id)
Parameters
- Id: Name of the layout area.
Usage
Assume that you are using Coldfusion.navigate to populate content into tab or accordion panels. You can have instances where content comes from the source bind call if the source attribute is defined for cflayoutarea (and is not from ColdFusion.navigate).In such instances, you might disable the source bind to get content using Coldfusion.navigate.
Example
layout.cfm uses the templates Tab1_Src.cfm, Tab2_Src.cfm, and Tab3_Src.cfm. If you run layout.cfm, you notice that clicking
- navigate populates content of tab2_src.cfm instead of navigate.cfm
- Disable Source bind ensures that the content of navigate.cfm is populated in tab2_src
Enable Source Bind and then clicking tab2_src would again populate the content of tab2_src
