Maybe I'm wrong for viewing it this way, but I don't consider the cfqueryparam as part of my user-engaging validation.
If I write my server-side validation (the part that does inform a user that an address is syntactically incorrect) correctly, then there shouldn't be any problem with it passing cfqueryparam's requirements. -----Original Message----- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 3:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Client-side validation or Server-side Validation?

You need that other layer anyway.
