Looks to me like you have the function checkForm() commented out <!--- with a CF comment. If you are trying to hide it from browsers that don't recognize javascript, use the HTML comment <!-- (the number of dashes really do matter). I noticed you have a javascript commenter '//' before the closing CF comment, but keep in mind the CF comments are processed on the server side, and javascript comments are only there on the client side.

I am trying to do some form validation, but it isn't working. Instead of giving me the alert, it takes me to the action page, no matter what I type in. I basically took this code straight from a book. Any ideas? Thanks. <html> <head> <script language="JavaScript"> <!--- function checkForm() { var ValidPassed = True; while (ValidPassed==True) { if (!document.fBuyout.varFname.value.length) { alert("Enter First Name."); document.fBuyout.varFname.focus(); ValidPassed=false; break; } break; } Return ValidPassed; } // ---> </script> </head> <body> <cfoutput> <cfform action="buyoutaddaction.cfm" method="post" name="fBuyout" onSubmit="return checkForm()"> <table> <tr> <td> <cfinput type="text" name="varFname" size="10" maxlength="10" value=""> </td> <td> <input type="Submit" value="ok"> </td> </tr> </table> </cfform> </cfoutput> </body> </html> Chris King Desktop Support Specialist / Winbatch Guru Atos Origin 301 University Blvd 1.710 Rebecca Sealy Galveston, TX 77555 USA Phone : 409.747.9428 Fax : 409.747.9569 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.atosorigin.com "Never test for an error you don't know how to handle." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get Instant Hacker Protection, Virus Detection, Antispam & Personal Firewall. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=62 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:15:1319 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/15 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:15 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.15 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
