I for one, certainly shy away from the cfform/cfinput tags due to the oddities I have seen with certain header data being displayed on the pages that contain those tags. they seem fine up to the point when you actually have to submit something to a page/or another separate page. as soon as I hit submit, and the action page does something, its like this weird header type text shows up inexplicably at the top of the page?
everytime I have asked what it was, to this list, I never have gotten an answer. most of the time I get an answer similar to " check your headers to see why" or some other answer like that. I just found it easier to write some cf logic on my action page, that makes sure the user has inputted exactly what I was looking for, rather than on the fly in the browser, using javascript. ..tony Tony Weeg Senior Web Developer Information System Design Navtrak, Inc.

I've even heard them refer to it as "novice cf-coding". I've always had good luck using them. Are there drawbacks to letting CF generate the js to validate your input fields? There must be a good reason. ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
