Utilities For Generating "id" / "for" Attributes In ColdFusion

Read Original

This article details the creation of two ColdFusion utility functions, `nextUid()` and `getUid()`, designed to automate the generation of `id` and `for` attributes in HTML forms. It explains how these methods use a request-scoped counter to create matching attribute pairs, reducing boilerplate code and simplifying the process of adding ARIA attributes for accessibility.
