In my Spring <br /> Presentation I did yesterday, I should off an example that implements: * Applies any local validation defined * Submits form via AJAX * If the server finds errors, displays them to the user inline (looks like client-side validation) * If the server actually submits the results, then display a "Thank you" message. I think you'd find this flow would work exactly like what you're trying to achieve. Also, in my demo if you disable JS, everything still works as expected--which is what *should* happen. I've posted my presentation at: http://blog.pengoworks.com/blogger/index.cfm?action=blog:585 Take a look at the files for "ex2.5_mailing_list_validation_ajax.cfm" It shows off how you can combine local validation (using Jorn's Form Validation Plug-in) and submitting the form via AJAX (and reporting errors back.) You can also see the demo live at: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery_demo/ex2.5_mailing_list_validation _ajax.cfm If you try to sign up with the e-mail address with my e-mail address, you'll notice you get an AJAX error (it'll have the string "[AJAX]" in it.) NOTE: The check for duplicate e-mails is hardcoded for the example, e-mail addresses aren't actually being added to anything. All the source code is in the presentation download. -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
