Being that it's a required field, it's interesting that the CF-induced client side error checking isn't picking it up either.
A few thoughts: (1) Dump the form scope into your error emails. It may give you some insight. (2) Are you doing any server-side form error checking? Could that be causing an issue? (3) Is it possible that the form is getting submitted by a bot (and therefore, bypassing the CF/JavaScript error checking)? If possible, you might want to throw some CAPTCHA on the form and see if it makes a difference. -S. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Moore [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 1:05 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Missing Form Fields I have some CF forms that use dynamic field naming in a loop depending upon some value. Code like: <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#form.number#"> <cfinput type="text" name="fname_#i#" size="20" maxlength="50" required="yes"> <cfinput type="text" name="lname_#i#" size="20" maxlength="50" required="yes"> </cfloop> Every once in awhile when the user submits the form, one of the fields does not exist on the page processing the form. The error is something like "Element fname_2 is undefined in a Java object of type class coldfusion.filter.FormScope." I've never experienced this myself to be able to look at the source code of the form page, just emails generated from the error. Thus I cannot determine if it's ColdFusion not generating the field or the browser not sending it. This has happened in different browsers, mostly IE (even version 8). Has anyone experienced these types of issues? I've had it on CF 8, CF 9. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
