Form Validation

[ice78991]

I am looking for the best way to do some client side form validation. I have been looking into writing some javascript but am wondering if the bes solution for a simple form is cfinput with the validate attributes. Are there any problems associated with cfinput in practice?

Nah <cfinput /> is good. Just use the required and message attributes. Also use the validate attribute if you're looking for special types of input such as numbers, dates, etc.

ColdFusion server sends the requesting browser pre-written javascript to handle the validation of these controls.

Keep in mind that the <cfinput> tag does not have the textarea attribute.

Might want to check the adobe's site to see what form attributes the cf version you use has.

If you use Dreamweaver as an editor....

Search the CF forum on Adobe for "yaromat" and "javascript integration kit". The latter looks like it is for Flash only but works great in Dreamweaver.
