What's not working, JS, CF? What does the source look like in the browser? Some tips for you... you don't need the ToString() calls in CF and it's Javascript not Java (big difference).

All fine and dandy, however I would like to have js check this before the form is submitted. The code I have is not working, I am guessing it has to do with naming the function, but I am pretty much a complete newbie to java. how can I make this work? <cfoutput query="rscards"> <!---Convert int to string for java---> <cfset chk="chk"&tostring(rscards.dealerid)> <cfset javaint=tostring(rscards.dealerid)> <cfset java="java"&tostring(rscards.dealerid)> <cfinput type="text" name="#javaint#" id="#javaint#" value="" onvalidate="#java#" /> <cfinput type="text" name="#chk#" value="" id="#chk#" message="oops" onvalidate="#java#" />#rscards.first_name# #rscards.last_name# #rscards.dealerid#<br /> <script type="text/javascript"> function #java#(form) { if(form.#javaint#.value == form.#chk#.value) { return true; } else { alert("Error: #rscards.first_name# #rscards.last_name#'s info does not match."); form.#chk#.focus(); return false; } } </script> </cfoutput> <cfinput type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" /> </cfform> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312292 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
