probably want to do both CF and Javascript. do the validation in two steps,
first checking for minimum length, and then checking for at least one
non-alphabetic character. Here's CF and JS code:
------------------------------------------------------------
<cfif len(form.password) LT 8>
<!--- too short --->
</cfif>
<cfif REfind("[^a-zA-Z]", form.password) EQ 0>
<!--- only letters --->
</cfif>
------------------------------------------------------------
<script>
if (form.password.value.length < 8)
// to short
if (! /[^a-zA-Z]/.test(form.password.value))
// only letters
</script>
------------------------------------------------------------
