But adding / removing fields is going to reflect changes to the database and the business processing within the app so, frankly, the form tag is the least of your worries... > Just did.

But databases don't contain phone numbers, email addresses and social security numbers as types so you can't deduce that sort of validation anyway. > <tap:validate type="required"> > <input name="offerprice" /> > <input name="availabledate" /> > </tap:validate> > > the <tap:validate> tag allows you to indicate that all contained input > elements are required at one time without needing to specify > validation for each input element individually. Ah, then the answer is yes I believe and I think Tim or Ben even demo'd this functionality... > Going back to the previous question about needing the context of the > cfform tag for cfinput elements -- if I've sold an application to > someone who decides they don't want to use a form field which is > required by default, they can remove the required input element > without affecting the form's validation (and without editing a single > character of my code) -- that is, the form only validates what it > contains at the time it is validated. Seems to me that's how CF's validation works - if you remove the required input element, the automatic validation will no longer require that field to be present (since the validation is derived from the fields themselves rather than the form per se). -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 5 invites to give away!
