I believe if you use format="xml" you can fix the default behavior for required select boxes by editing the XSL sheet. Although admittedly if you're talking about an older form which already has an html table (or other html markup) built around the input elements, then you have to rewrite the whole form...
I don't care much for cfform myself -- even including the new features in 7... I have my own tools for something similar to the XForms implementation which are much more powerful. <tap:form> produces a similar default layout for the form (like cfform format="xml") plus it provides a lot of features that cfform doesn't, like automated values and database integration. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:211920 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
