Steven, Why don't you use the built in validation for a CFFORM? It can validate Email etc, BEFORE submitting, that way your action page can basically send the comments to the webmaster and display the thank you as well.
As for blocking spammers, check out: http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/ Of course there are lots of ways to protect yourself from spammers. As for protecting yourself from sql injection, well cfqueryparam is the way to go there. HTH, Rob > I just cannot seem to wrap my head around creating a simple CF > feedback form.
