If you don't want to use CFFORM there is the custom tag <CF_ValidateForm> which does the same thing but a little bit more flexible, takes a little longer to get up and running. But its still quite basic validation.
Anyway this whole client side validation thing is just a pain, save yourself a lot of headache and only perform server side validation, I feel there is a time for JS and not. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Weeg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 February 2003 13:42 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFFORM vs FORM well, that makes sense for someone proficient in js :) for those of us who arent, it really is a blessing.

CFFORM blackboxes a lot of things and does not always lead to the desired results. Furthermore, in very simple forms it's overkill because it adds javascript to each call. My prefered method is it to create forms with the standard form tag and add my own custom check routines written in javascript (and of course on the action page).
