Think I figured it out the first part using the cf_field_validation tag.
Pretty neat!
The only problem is that I want to call two javascript functions from the
same onsubmit call--due to the fact that I have two separate loops running
in order to serve up two parts of the dynamic form.
What's the proper format to use when calling multiple javascript functions
from the same form?
This doesn't seem to work:
<CFFORM
ACTION="pv_post.cfm?sa=2&stid=4&scid=8&p=post_insert&pt=post_insert&cid=#cid
#" method="post" NAME="addcase" onsubmit="return state();return state_2();">
<INPUT type="submit" name="insert" value="Continue »" onclick="return
state();return state_2();">
It does work however with the first set of "state" javascript checks....but
the "state_2" checks do not get executed.
This is so dumb, but what can I call to get both "state" and "state_2"
javascript functions to get executed once the user clicks the submit button?
Thanks a ton,
BW
