Hurray! So, Dan... I know I can use Jorn's Validation plug-in for client-side validation, and my normal CF routine for server-side validation.
I just need to figure out how to use the same space for error messages for both client-side and server-side validation. If I understand correctly, you're using the same div for displaying messages using Jorn's technique and messages for server-side validation. If it's client-side placing the message, it places by the id, e.g. "id=errorMessage". If it's server-side placing the message, you use a CFIF statement to determine that and place the error message in the same div via cfoutput. Correct to this point?
