><cfform scriptsrc="lib/cfform.js" name="MembersLogin"

>But I just discovered an easier way that will allow you to continue to

>unless extreme circumstances - use it as we did with CF5 and earlier. I ran
>into this problem with a rather large application (over 5Mb compressed)
>called "FuseTalk" (http://www.fusetalk.com) but fixed the problem by doing
>the following:
>
>1. In your "wwwroot\mysite\" folder create a folder called "cfide".
>
>You should now have, say a c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfide\ folder.
>
>2. As a sub directory in this folder create a folder called "scripts".
>
>You should now have, say a c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfide\scripts\ folder.
>
>3. Copy the two key .js files that CFMX already puts in the
>wwwroot\cfide\scripts folder and copy them up to your current
>development/production site. Copy ONLY those two files.
>
>Your own "cfforms" should now work as intended by Macromedia - and FuseTalk
>also without have to finde/replace any instance of CFFORM and add the
>SCRIPTSRC attribute. I'm sure MANY FuseTalk templates use the CFFORM tag so
>this is the best way to make sure ALL of your apps, not just FuseTalk, will
>work with no more form validation/_javascript_ errors.
>
>My next step is to put my own scripts in the same folder -
>wwwroot\mysite\cfide\scripts\ and see what happens.
>
>NOTE: Linux/Unix users may need to retain CASE for folder names. CFIDE is
>uppercase but the SCRIPTS and script filenames are lowercase.
