Wizard Definition Page Library

A set of seven page definition files is available in ColdFusion Studio and JRun Studio. The library can be used to quickly build data access capabilities into wizards.

This section is included for HomeSite users who may want to upgrade to use these additional features.

Examples

Following are examples of each of the seven wizard definition pages available in the library. For complete syntax and usage information, see the Wizards Definition Page Library section of the VTML Reference.
