Got... Clever. I see exactly what you are getting at. The use of ajax for client side makes the validation run the exact same routines.

The app can do both. The idea is to write one set of server-side validation routines in CF. The app then uses AJAX to check fields as the used fills them out, for the benefit of the user; it also checks them server side on submission to ensure data integrity and prevent circumvention of the validation routines. A framework to easily apply the validation at both ends would make it all a low maintenance thing - the validation need only be written once and can be maintained in one place. mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ 2009/12/12 Mark Kruger <mkru...@cfwebtools.com>: > >You can't validate > using an ajax request and THEN submit the form values using a submit >request...
