I personally found that the CFFORM code lack in a lot of areas. Unless you really understand JavaScript, it's pretty inflexible and doesn't really help you to build interactive pages. That's why I started the qForms API a couple of years ago. I'd recommend looking taking a look at it: http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/ If you don't know JS at all, there may be a little bit of a learning curve involved, but the examples should get you started. It really is pretty easy to implement, plus you'll have control over the page. If there isn't a validation routine that you need, you can write one or check to see if a user's already written one. It'll also provide you with an API that will make programming interactive pages *much* easier. Check out the examples for some good samples of the API's power: http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/docs/examples/ -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
