Displaying query results under the active <cflayoutearea> tab

Hello. I am developing a coldfusion website where everything functions under tabs ie. <cflayout area>. The first tab is the home page with just informational items on it. The second tab displays a list of links that allows the user to click and generate query results in a table form to a new browser window.

Is it possible to generate the query results within the active tab instead of to a new browser window? It would be ideal to allow the user to stay within the tab? I can provide my current code if neccessary. Thanks in advance.

tried <cfform> by adding it to the my code under a tab (cflayoutarea) on the web page when a link is clicked. The link still generates a new browser window. I guess i'm not doing <cfform >the right way in this case. Here is an excerpt of my code. Any other suggestions? Thanks.


<cfform action="http://machinename.domain.net:8500/tt/tsr.cfm" method="post">

<font size=4><left><bb><a href="http://machinename.domain.net:8500/tt/tsr.cfm">My Service Requests</b></a></font><br>
<font size=2>All Service Requests Opened/Resolved assigned to me</font>
</div></body>
</cfform>

I decided to not pursue this answer any further. I was able to do a workaround in my development for what I needed to do.

Sorry I didn't see your previous post.  

For future reference... the CFFORM didn't work because you are not submitting the form.   Using a link has nothing to do with CFFORM (or <form> for that matter).   You don't need the form at all to use a link, they are not related.     You want to SUBMIT the form using the <input type="submit" ....>   tag, then the form will refresh within the CFwindow, CFdiv, CFlayout, etc..
