Spry binding
Spry is another AJAX library that works with the browser DOM and it's included with ColdFusion. Spry uses the same curly braces type of parameters for binding. There are some differences in implementation though. Another thing that you can bind to your forms is the Spry data in what is called a Spry dataset. You would do that as shown in this example:
{spryDataset.dataField}
If we wish to dig deeper into a Spry dataset in more detail, we can use standard Spry dataset notations to refer to the data.
Note
To include a literal brace character in a bind expression, escape the character with a backslash.
