I don't think that's exactly it. There are a bunch of automatic validation suffixes, like "_date" and "_time" which trigger built-in CF form validation. Typically, they're used by adding hidden form fields to your form, and naming those fields using the names of the fields to be validated and the appropriate validation suffix: <input type="text" name="firstname"> <input type="hidden" name="firstname_required" value="You must enter a first name!"> Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.
