Larry, The cause of this problem is almost always the inability of the web server to find the cfform.js file. And it's usually because the CFIDE directory is outside of the webroot, or not at "/CFIDE/"
So -- two questions: Does the path "/CFIDE/scripts/cfform.js" actually correctly point to a file within your webroot? And -- when you submit the form, is there a javascript error generated? If there is, and the error says something like "_CF_hasValue is not defined ....," then it's because the js file isn't where it's supposed to be. Another thought: are other validations in the same form working? -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
