    I am a new to Coldfusion so please excuse the trivial nature of my problem. Here goes,
    My development environment - is Dreamweaver 8, Coldfusion 8 running on a Mac (OS X 10.4.9) the ISP hosting the site is StartLogic, DB MySql.
    The site setup - running on the ISP's virtual server, application server set to coldfusion, for local (Mac), Remote & testing machines in the ISP's environment.
    My problem - For some reason the cfinput text field isn't being displayed in the browser - Mozilla Firefox v 2.0.0.6 however the field label is displayed. Note the text fields for the HTML counter part works fine.
    The text field is housed in a table in a CF form. The code is shown below.
    <table width="900">
    <tr>
    <td width="144">&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="710" bordercolor="#F4F4F4"><cfform name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="">
    <p>
    <label for="text">First Name</label>
    <cfinput type="text" name="FirstName" id="text">
    </p>
    I would appreciate any help to resolve this problem.

    The problem was the Web Application didn't have access to the Coldfusion Application Server. In essence, the Coldfusion Application server wasn't included in the package we contracted for from the Hosting Site, Startlogic.

    It should be noted the technical support provided by Startlogic is less to be desired.

    If you have a technical issue, I strongly suggest going through your sales representative; ask him/her to refer you to a competent technical rep, who can expedite the process of obtaining a solution to your problem.
