Runtime object manipulation
hi ,
I am new to Allaire Spectra. Is it possible to generate a login sort of form or any form using spectra just through clicks. I do not want to code the form and and write a <cfquery> to insert the data into the data base. I want to do the entire thing from design to writing the insert query using spectra ... i.e. I do not want to write a query to manipulate the database. I want the Spectra should do that also. I know that through Spectra it is possible to design the form but i want to do database access also. Is it possible to manipulate the form fields at run time i.e add/delete fields without doing any coding.
thanks in advance,
Aniket

Also, some people have the misconception that spectra gives you the ability to build websites without having to code. This however is not the case. While spectra does give you a lot of great tools which if used correcttly can produce a very powerful web application in a relatively short amount of time, you are going to have to do some codeing.

Hi scott
Thanx for the comment. The primary concern I have is that whether i can manipulate the user database using the same stuff. Can the user database be manipulated in the similar way like the Spectra database?
eg. in a registration form all the values are stored in the user database. in case i add/delete any field in the form, the database shall be updated for the newly added field also; and in case of a delete the query shall be re-framed accordingly. The business manager shall be able to add/delete/modify form fields as per the requirement without any changes in the code.
Can this be done using SPECTRA?

There are a lot of spectra tags that you use to handle this for you.
For example:
To create a new object you use the <cfa_ContentObjectCreate> tag
To update and object, you should use the <cfa_contentObjectData>
and <cfa_contentObjectProperty
To delete an object, use the <cfa_ContentObjectDelete> tag.
I'm afraid I don't know of any whay to make spectra do it all. I've been programming with spectra since it first came out, But I afraid I've always prefered to write my own code rather then utilizing the webtop for creating forms and the like. I think your better off coding the templates yourself.
If you have any other questions on how to use spectra tags to your advantage let me know.
