We are currently researching the Best Practices for managing form reuse, validation and error handling in a CF application. Our current application is not a fusebox application, but I still like separating the form logic, validation logic and the update/insert logic.
I think a good form should redisplay the form, highlight any incorrect form fields and perhaps show context sensitive help. I have used many different approaches for managing this interaction with users, but wanted get a feel for what other developers find the best approach today with new Cold Fusion functionality. Are developers using CFFORM and posting back to the same page, so you can preserve the form data and redisplay the form field values. Are most developers doing both client side and server side validation or are you do just server side or something in between such as ajax validation? I was just hoping to generate some discussion about what people think works best and see if there is anything new, which we might be worth a discussion. Any links to other discussion are welcome!
