Forwarding

By default, cf_sebForm assumes that it should forward the user to another page after it finishes its action. How it decides this, and how to change this behavior are important to effectively using cf_sebForm.

Forwarding Attributes:

• sendForward (boolean, default: true): Indicates if cf_sebForm should forward the user to a new page after it successfully performs an action.
• sendBack (boolean, default: false): Indicates if cf_sebForm should forward the user to the page they were on before the current page.
• forward (string): The URL to forward the user to after a successful action.

If "sendForward" is false, then cf_sebForm will not forward the browser after a successful action, no matter what the values of the other two attributes are.

If a "forward" attribute is provided, it takes priority over the "sendBack" attribute (which just sets a default value for the "forward" attribute).

Note:

If the form is submitting to a CFC and the method returns a simple value (string, numeric, etc), then you can include "{result}" in your "forward" attribute and it will be replaced with the value returned by the CFC method.
