Richard, Is it possible to make your buttons links instead of buttons, or input type="image" and use a gif image for your buttons? These both send information about themselves to the server. You can still onClick events on both of those input types and do your preprocessing.
Regarding using cfform -- if you are doing your preprocessing and then want to use any cfform validation after that, you have to do kind of a workaround. It's described at livedocs or cfquickdocs. I'm actually working on something like that right now. You have to use one of the js functions that is inserted by cf when you use cfform. I can get more descriptive if you still need help. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard White" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 9:43 AM Subject: cfform tasks before submit > Hi, i have a cfform with 2 buttons: 'Move to next step' & 'Move to > previous step' > > Irregardless of what button is clicked i need to do some tasks before the > form is submitted when the button is clicked > > I tried to make the buttons type button instead of submit and then do an > onclick event.
