I am using onvalidate to do some extra client side validation of a form before it gets submitted. It's a fairly complex set of criteria involving the relationship among several fields so I need to do it in a JavaScript function rather than just giving ColdFusion a rule. So I set up a hidden cfinput (visibility: hidden and height: 1px) and created a meaningful error message and do my field checking there.
It works great on Firefox, Chrome, etc. but stumbles on IE7. It seems that if the field is hidden, IE7 runs the javascript which produces the error alert box, but after you click OK, it goes on to the posted page anyway! Has anyone else run across this? Do you know any way to force IE7 to run this properly? I'm really struggling to find a way to make this work because so many users are on IE7. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
