Re: Form Validation Issue using cfinput AND jquery
cf forms CAN validate cfselect boxes - you just have to code them properly: the default/invalid option MUST have its value set to a single space ( that is [space] ) a common mistake is to set the value to an empty string, which 'breaks' cf's built-in validation: any value other than a single space passes the validation.

Re: Form Validation Issue using cfinput AND jquery
I generally try to roll my own validation and just use form instead. You can much nicer validation. However with that being said I believe whatever you define in onSubmit=return bla will only fire if the cf validation passes.

RE: Form Validation Issue using cfinput AND jquery
Is your JQuery validation returning false? Here is how I see it (I'm assuming here so don't shoot me)... CFValidation = false JQuery = true One result is true so it processes. CFValidation = true JQuery = false Same One result is true so it processes. CFValidation = false JQuery = false Both are false processing ends. CFValidation = true JQuery = true Both are true so it processes. You either need to change your cfvalidation to be jquery, or build a wrapper function for both validation that checks to make sure that both validate before moving on. Just a simple function that is, if CF or JQuery is false return false, if both true return true.

Re: Form Validation Issue using cfinput AND jquery
I'm not sure that's correct. Using the same scenarios (and assuming the jquery validation is defined in onsubmit with return specified) here's my understanding: CFValidation = false - validation ends. JQuery = doesn't get processed. Form Doesn't Submit CFValidation = true JQuery = false - validation ends Form Doesn't Submit. CFValidation = false - validation ends. JQuery = doesn't get processed. Form Doesn't Submit. CFValidation = true JQuery = true *confetti* You either need to change your cfvalidation to be jquery, or build a wrapper function for both validation that checks to make sure that both validate before moving on. I don't _think_ that's true. However I could be wrong. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:341790 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
