-----Original Message----- From: Gerry Pauline [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 2:39 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFINPUT & RegExp CFxperts: I'm using CFFORM to create an online survey for a user. In one of the CFINPUT tags, I'm using a regular express to validate an entry. I coded the VALIDATE= and PATTERN= parms as follows: <CFINPUT type="text" SIZE="40" MAXLENGTH="13" VALIDATE="regular_expression" PATTERN="/^\d{4}\-\d{3}\-\d{4}$/" NAME="BudgetNo" REQUIRED="Yes" MESSAGE="Please enter your BUDGET NUMBER !"> The text should contain three numeric quadrants delimited by hyphens, for example: 1000-909-1033. As you may guess, it doesn't seem to be working. According to the manual, a JavaScript regular expression should be used, which I believe is specified correctly. The CFFORM tag is coded as follows: <CFFORM NAME="TAsurvey" METHOD="POST" ACTION="TASurveyToDB.CFM" ONSUBMIT="return chkForm()"> As you can see, it calls another JS function in addition to using the builtin valadation features of the CFINPUT tag. The other tags using the CFINPUT validation calls all work OK (only the tag above uses a regular expression). Could someone please advise me on what I'm doing wrong (besides being lazy and using CFFORM in the first place !). Any and all advise/suggestions/help will be gratefully appreciated ! Thank you. -Gerry Gerard T.
