Thanks, Dylan. That gives me a direction to go in. I'll look this up.
Thanks!

yes you can do this. you can reference the form elements by object name. you
don't have to submit the form to validate or check values. you can do it
using onFocus and/or onBlur.

Hey all,
Is it possible to determine what a user has inputted in a form BEFORE the
form is submitted? What I would like to do is IF a user makes a selection in
the form that conflicts with information already in the db, I want to have a
javascript popup alert them to the discrepancy and have them verify if they
want to continue. Otherwise, just a regular submit button would be
displayed.
I have the javascript alert/confirm working alright, but I can't figure out
how to get it to check the formfields and only display conditionally. I
don't even think this is possible, considering that CF is server-side and
essentially what I want to do is have CF determine what was selected BEFORE
it is submitted. Is there a way I can determine this with JavaScript (I'm
not very good at JS, so "baby steps", please ;).
I know I could do this within CF and just have the form submit to an interim
confirmation page, but I would rather do this on the client.
Thanks!
Terri
