Hi friends,

I have done my site in coldfusion & i want to validate a textarea field on a page that if it is blank then it should give a alert message as there is no validate parameter in coldfusion as it is for textfield. can any provide any javascript validation for this.

I guess this should help

<html>
<head>

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function validate(somArg)
{
If (somArg.textarea2.value==&quot;&quot;)
{
alert(&quot;textArea is blank&quot;);
}
}
</script>

</head>
<body>
<form name=&quot;MyForm&quot;>
<p>
<TEXTAREA rows=2 cols=20 id=textarea2 name=textarea2>
</TEXTAREA><br>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; onClick=&quot;validate(this.MyForm)&quot;>
</p>

</form>
</body>
</html>

;-)
