<td id="Name_error"><noscript><cfoutput>#Form_Errors.Name_Error#</cfoutput>< /nos cript></td>
While this line is perfectly syntactically correct, I do not believe it will function as you expect it to. Follow through the process of the request. CF receives a request form a user client (passed on from the web server). It process ALL the CF instructions it finds in the request resource (aPage.cfm) and sends the entire results back to the client; again through the web server. So what would happen with your line is that CF would attempt to render the variable #form_errors.Name_error#. Most likely it would not exist since no user interaction with the form has occurred yet, but if you had set to some default value, that value would be rendered to the result to be sent to the client. Then the browser would get it and then show whatever the default value was, before any user interaction has occurred because the server has already rendered it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
