Subject: RE: How to validate form variables with this method including
Encoding: multi-part/form-data
Rick,
I think you might want to rethink how you handle form data. You'll make
your life a lot simpler from the sound of it.
You shouldn't have to copy your form vars to session scope and whatnot if
you just process your form data immediately. And you can do validation no
problem server-side with this (very basic) model, below. You won't need to
mess around with _javascript_, cfinput etc. unless you want to.
HtH,

put other actions run from this template in other case statements. Or
don't. I often leave a case statement in regardless of whether I have
multiple choices or not. Makes the code expandable and builds in a touch of
url hacking protection with the cfdefaultcase.

a url parameter value came in that was not one we
