Zac,
I don't have a link to the discussion you're asking about, but I've always
found that CFFORM was lacking in several key areas--so I wrote a JavaScript
API that I use in place of CFFORM called qForms. The API is open source and
is a *lot* more powerful and flexible then the CFFORMs code, and it's as
easy (or easier) to use. Plus, qForms has a lot of extended methods and
properties that deal with things other than just validation, like: moving an
item from one select box to another, trimming fields, populating a select
box, returning the form as a structure, setting the form based on a
structure, serializing the form to WDDX, plus much, much more.
One of the neatest things about the API is that it provides you with the
setValue() and getValue() methods--which all you to retrieve a value or set
the value for *any* field type. This means you no longer have to loop
through a select box to get the value, just call the getValue() method.
You can find more information about the qForms API at:
http://www.pengoworks.com/qForms/
Something else worth noting, the API is all client-side--which means that
you can use it with *any* server-side solution and you're not limited to one
platform. That also means you can use it with a standard .html file.
There's a number of companies using the API and it's been written to work
with NS v3+ and IE4+. (It should work w/IE3, but I don't know anybody that
still has a copy to test it with. <g>)
