here's the main part of the form from dsp_register.cfm
at the top I set a default value for variables.msg and form fields
<cfparam name="form.team_name" default="">
<cfparam name="form.company_name" default="">
<cfparam name="form.address_1" default="">
<cfparam name="form.email" default="">
<cfparam name="variables.msg" default="">
<cfif isdefined("client.form_variables")>
<cfwddx action="" input="#client.form_variables#" output="formTemp">
<cfloop index="formItem" list="#StructKeyList(formTemp)#">
<cfset StructInsert(form,formItem,evaluate("formTemp." & formItem), true)>
</cfloop>
</cfif>
<cfif variables.msg is not "">
<p>#variables.msg#</p>
</cfif>
<form name="npcregister" method="post" enablecab="No"
action="" class="center">
<div class="rugbyform">
Team Name:<br />
<input type="text" name="team_name" value="#form.team_name#" size="34" /><br />
Company Name:<br />
<input type="text" name="company_name" value="#form.company_name#" size="34" /><br />
Address 1:<br />
<input type="text" name="address_1" value="#form.address_1#" size="34" /><br />
Email:<br />
<input type="text" name="email" size="34" /><br /><br />
Charge my Chamber account
<input type="radio" name="payment" value="charge chamber" class="radio" /><br />
I will forward payment to Box 237, Gore
<input type="radio" name="payment" value="forward payment" class="radio" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" class="button" />
<input type="reset" name="reset" id="reset" value="Reset" class="button" />
</div>
</form>
it then gets sent to the XFA.submitRegister for validation (using act_validateRegisterInfo.cfm) which is as follows:
<cfwddx action="" input="#form#" output="client.form_variables" usetimezoneinfo="No">
<cfif form.team_name IS "">
<cfset variables.msg=variables.msg & "<li>You must enter your team name</li>">
</cfif>
<cfif form.company_name IS "">
<cfset variables.msg=variables.msg & "<li>You must enter your company name</li>">
</cfif>
<cfif form.address_1 IS "">
<cfset variables.msg=variables.msg & "<li>You must enter a valid address</li>" >
</cfif>
<cfif variables.msg IS NOT "">
<cfset variables.msg="<h1>ENTRY ERROR</h1>The following error(s) were detected:<ul>#variables.msg#</ul>">
<cflocation URL=""> </cfif>
Which by rights should send the user back to the form if one of the above fields is empty, and above the form it should list the errors. However, when a field is left empty such ss company_name, it will send me back and it will display the values I had previously entered (using cfwddx) that were ok...but it WONT show me the variables.msg for those invalid entries (variables.msg is always "")
What am I doing wrong? All I want to do is output the relevant error messages in a list when the user is returned to the form and keep previously entered form data. Help! Or is there another more efficient way of achieving this? I've heard of cf_reuseform but know nothing about it.
All help greatly appreciated. TIA
