Note: You can specify this tag's attributes in an attributeCollection attribute whose value is a structure. Specify the structure name in the attributeCollection attribute and use the tag's attribute names as structure keys.

Note: In XML format, ColdFusion passes all attributes to the XML. The supplied XSLT skins do not handle or display XML format grids, but do display applet and Flash format grids.

autoExpand

Optional;HTML

yes for first column and no for remaining columns

On a particular column, it lets you expand
the specified column.
Setting autoExpand="yes" for multiple columns
results in error.
Also, if the attribute display is set to no, then autoExpand
cannot be yes; else, it results in error.

Optional;all

As specified by cfgrid

• yes: displays grid control text in italic.
• no

mask

Optional;Flash, HTML

A mask pattern that controls the character pattern that the form displays or allows users to input and sends to ColdFusion.
For columns with the currency type attribute, the mask specifies the currency symbol. ColdFusion automatically inserts the character before the numeric value.
For columns with text or numeric values, mask specifies the format to display or allow users to input, as follows:

• A = A-Za-z
• X = A-Za-z0-9
• 9 = 0-9
• ? = Any character
• All other characters = ColdFusion inserts the literal character.
  If the column values are dates or timestamps,
  ColdFusion uses the mask pattern to format the selected date.
  For details of the date/time mask format, see the section date/time formats in mask attribute.Masking supports HTML grids.
  The default format is m/d/y, for example 05/06/75.
  where m is month with leading zeros, d is day with leading zeros, and y is two-digit representation of year.

Format for displaying numeric data in the grid. See the following table of numberFormat attribute mask characters.

select

Optional;all

yes

Determines selection behavior if the cfgrid selectmode attribute value is column, edit, or single; ignored for row or browse values.

• yes: users can select the column or select or edit cells in the column, as specified by the selectmode attribute.
• no: users cannot select the column or select or edit cells in the column.

target

type

Optional;all

You can specify the following values in all formats:

• boolean: column displays as check box; if cell is editable, user can change the check mark. In an onchange event, for static and dynamic grids, the data that is passed is converted to the format in which the boolean values are represented in the database.
• combobox: displays a drop-down list with the values you specify for the attributes values and valuedisplay as options.
• numeric: user can sort grid data numerically. In HTML format, if the cell is editable, the user can enter numeric values
• string_noCase: user can sort grid data as case-insensitive text. In HTML format, if the cell is editable, the user can enter text values.
  You can specify the following value in applet and Flash formats; it does not work in HTML format:
• image: grid displays the image specified by the URL in the column. If you use a relative URL, the image must be in the CFIDE\classes directory or a subdirectory. If the image is larger than the column cell, it is clipped to fit. Flash images must be JPEG files. Applet images can be JPEG or GIF files.
  You can specify the following value in applet format; it does not work in Flash or HTML format.
• image: you can use the following built-in ColdFusion image names, in addition to paths to image files, in the column values: cd, computer, document, element, folder, floppy, fixed, remote.
  You can specify the following value in Flash format; it does not work in applet or HTML format:
• currency: formats the column data as currency, aligning it around the decimal point. If users sort the grid by using this column, it sorts correctly for the currency, Use the mask attribute to specify a currency symbol; the default value is the dollar sign ($).
  You can specify the following value in HTML format; it does not work in applet or Flash format:
• date: The column contains date values. If the grid selectMode attribute value is edit, the cell is editable. When you click an editable cell, an icon appears that you can click to open a date picker and select a date.

values

Optional;HTML, applet

Formats cells in column as drop-down list boxes; specify items in drop-down list, for example:

valuesDelimiter

Optional;HTML, applet

, (comma)

Maps elements in the values attribute to string to display in the drop-down list. Delimited strings and/or numeric ranges.

width

Optional;all

Column head width

Column width, in pixels.

Y

N

T

F

1

0

true (for static grids)

false (for static grids)

true (for dynamic grids)

NO (for dynamic grids)

For non-boolean or null

Y

_

(Underscore) Digit placeholder.

9

Digit placeholder.

.

(Period) Location of mandatory decimal point.

0

Located to left or right of mandatory decimal point; pads with zeros.

( )

Puts parentheses around mask if number is less than 0.

+

Puts plus sign before positive numbers, minus sign before negative numbers.

-

Puts space before positive numbers, minus sign before negative numbers.

,

(Comma) Separates every third decimal-place with a comma.

L,C

Left-justify or center-justify number within width of mask column. First character of mask must be L or C. Default: right-justified.

$

Puts dollar sign before formatted number. Must be the first character of mask.

^

(Caret) Separates left from right formatting.

Y

Year. If the number of pattern letters is two, the year is truncated to two digits; otherwise, it appears as four digits. The year can be zero-padded, as the third example shows in the following set of examples: Examples:YY = 03YYYY = 2003YYYYY = 02003

M

Month in year. The format depends on the following criteria:

• If the number of pattern letters is one, the format is interpreted as numeric in one or two digits.
• If the number of pattern letters is two, the format is interpreted as numeric in two digits.
• If the number of pattern letters is three, the format is interpreted as short text.
• If the number of pattern letters is four, the format is interpreted as full text.
  Examples:M = 7MM= 07MMM=JulMMMM= July

D

Day in month. Examples:D=4DD=04DD=10

E

Day in week. The format depends on the following criteria:

• If the number of pattern letters is one, the format is interpreted as numeric in one or two digits.
• If the number of pattern letters is two, the format is interpreted as numeric in two digits.
• If the number of pattern letters is three, the format is interpreted as short text.
• If the number of pattern letters is four, the format is interpreted as full text.
  Examples:E = 1EE = 01EEE = MonEEEE = Monday

A

Other text

You can add other text into the pattern string to further format the string. You can use punctuation, numbers, and all lowercase letters. Avoid upper case letters because they may be interpreted as pattern letters.Example:EEEE, MMM. D, YYYY at H:NN A = Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2003 at 1:26 PM
