I'm pretty sure I've found a bug in MX 7 in the way it generated CFFORM javascript validation. After upgrading from 6.1 all our CFFORM validation stopped working (creditcard, email, SS Numbers). What I've found is that on 6.1 if you had your own JavaScript function defined in the OnSubmit="checkit()" attribute, ColdFusion replaced your functin with its own,... OnSubmit="return _CF_checkCFForm_1(this)", .... and slipped your own function at the end of its own script.
Here is how it handled it on the old server with MX6.1....
Now, with MX7 installed, ColdFusion leaves the "OnSubmit" as it is and never puts in a function to call the validation scripts.
Is there a patch to fix this problem?
