While creating a new form,do we need to enter both title and name for the form?may i know why it is mandatory to enter both or what is the difference between Form title and name?
One more thing i noticed is like i can enter same title for multiple forms and is not unique.
The way it was explained to me, and how I have used them, is that the Title is the name of the form, how it is identified to yourself and others. The Name is the roll that it plays. So you might title the form MyDataForm1, but if the form is for the process of payroll analysis, it's name would be PayRollAnalysis1.
I hope I did not misunderstand the nature of the question, but that is how I interpret the answer.

Let's say I need to print the full name of a person. What I originally did was to separate the first name and last name into two elements and placed them side by side since they needed different styling (this is just an example):
Lastname, Firstname
However, I found out after that I can't actually make their width dynamic because the developers made an effort not to allow it. So now I'm wondering if I can present the name with two different styles inside one element. Is this possible? How would I accomplish that? I hope you can help, thanks!
Okay so apparently you can. All you need to do is setup the markup attribute on the text field.

I have form inside popup windows in which i enter user details for specific company (first/last name, password/confirm pass... etc.) I want to limit email input field to just enter first part of email format. In other words, i want user to input his name or anything else, and other part after # will be generated according to selected company from dropdown list.
Lets say that user can enter in x spaces xxxx#company.com
If anyone have sugestion for best way to do that, i will be very thankful. For information, i'm working with angular2
If talking about UI design, I think the best solution is to let the user to select the company name first and use an input control similar to Bootstrap Input Groups.
You'll need to change the domain according to your selection.
When I submit my form I am getting an error from my cfinsert function because there is not a database column name "SEARCHFIELD". The problem is "SEARCHFIELD" is not an input in the form I am submitting.
Both forms have close and open tags so I am not sure why my search form input is being referenced in my main forms submission?
Any thoughts?
Two ways I can think of to avoid this, without seeing your actual code it is hard to guess where SEARCHFIELD is coming from. As some of the comments pointed out it would most likely be from a CFPARAM or the name of your submit button in the form.
The first way you could tackle this is the CFINSERT tag has an attribute named formfields where you can list off the columns you wish to insert with. You can see that here in this doc link:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7c78.html
Another way you could do this is you could add code to remove SEARCHFIELD from the FORM scope prior to running the CFINSERT. Which would be as simple as:
<cfset StructDelete(FORM, "SEARCHFIELD") />
You could check to see if it exists and if so then delete it but the StructDelete() will run without issues even if the field does not exist.
I personally do not use CFINSERT/CFUPDATE and I know the default opinion in the community is not to. They do have some benefits though that often are overlooked in that they do parameterise the SQL and offer at least some safety from malicious people. Without knowing anything about what you are doing it is hard to say if using them is actually a shot in your foot in the long run or something just fine to be doing.
I have an autocompexion app. that works. Server side written in php (search.php)
. Client side in javascript (autocomplexion.js).
In a text field this helps to enter town name by giving towns names that starts with the same letters that are entered in the field.
search.php sort a list of towns in towns.txt and choose the ones that match.
autocomplexion.js helps to select among those proposed towns.
My issue :
In Zend i would use this in a form (zend_Form) in a text field created with Zend_Form_Element_Text.
How do i link this field with autocomplexion.js and search.php.
where do i put search.php and autocomplexion.js
Thanks for your answer

Write the PHP search function in an Action in an appropriate controller. Point the JS to this action and I think you are done.
When using the Add or Edit form from the pager I'm wondering how a simple static label can be added in the form without it creating any additional columns in it's affect on colNames[]'s and colModel[]'s. For example I have a quite simple typical Add form which opens from the pager containing a few label's and form elements: Name, Email, Web Site, etc., and then the lower section of the form has a few drop down menus containing the number 1 through 10 with the idea being to ask the user to pick a value between 1 and 10 to put a value on the importance to them about the product or service which is listed beside it. Just above this section I want to add some text only to give a brief instruction asking the user to "Choose the importance of the following products and services using the scale: [1=Low interest --- 10=Very high interest]". I cannot figure out how to get a text label inserted in the form without having to define a column with a formoption{} etc which is not needed for just some descriptive text. I know about the "bottominfo: 'some text'" for adding text to the bottom of the form but I need to insert some text similar to that mid-way (or other positions) in the form without it affecting the tabular structure of the grid. Is this even possible? TIA.
You can modify Edit or Add forms inside of afterShowForm. The ids of the form fields are like "tr_Name". There consist from "tr_" prefix and the corresponding column name.
I modified the code example from my old answer so that in the Add dialod there exist an additional line with the bold text "Additional Information:". In the "Edit" dialog (like one want in the original question) the input field for one column is disabled. You can see the example live here. I hope that a working code example can say more as a lot of words.
