Well it'll be a wonderful day, and make my tired old mother smile with satisfaction if the day ever comes when someone says I'm tactful.
Bluntness and forthfightness are what I'm well known for and it's made me lots of trouble over the years, but it does save a lot of time. I still got my point across didn't I, even if it doesn't apply to this specific field. No offence intended.

As I've already told Jochem (who made the same comment, only far more tactfully) this for a SINGLE FIELD. The email field (a SINGLE FIELD) for example might: 1) Need to be populated. 2) Need to be less than 255 characters 3) Need to follow general email format. 4) Need to be checked against the database. You would NEVER want all four of these situations to be shown at once. You want the system to validate until it finds an error then STOP (you don't check the database if there's no value for example). You store than error, then check the other fields (which may themselves have many validations). So a single form MAY display multiple issues - but a single FIELD would only display one. You are still left with the potential for several iteration of a form. They forget the email here, but here it's been found not to be unique. But if you still want to stay away from the sites here they are: www.depressedpres.com www.cfadvocacy.org www.firstnight.org Jim Davis, tired and cranky. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
