I found out that you can't really combine the ColdFusion form validation of
<cfinput> with other javascripts validation. I mean there is not built in
<textarea> CF validation. So I used an independent javascript validation for
the textarea along with the CF built in validation and the independent
javascript validating the <textarea> does not work. Probably has to do with
CF assigning another name to the form.
How do you validate a <textarea> with javascript along with using the built
in CF javascript validation with other form elements?
