in your cfinput/cfselect/cf[formtagname] add this parameter: onValidate for instance: <cfinput name="firstname" onValidate="textOnly" value="" message="Your First Name can only contain letters'>
When the form validates this field, it will call the javascript function in that parameter (textOnly). In your javascript function, you will have 3 values sent to it. The form object, the field object as well as the field object's value. You use that information to verify that the validation is accurate and then return either 'true' or 'false'. Coldfusion does the rest.
