Just a suggestion, but it already exsists... almost!
If you look at the docs for CFInput you will see OnError="" and
OnValidate="" as optional fields. I just had to use these to modify the
"Phone Number" validation of a CFInput box.
Here's the scoop: When you use a CFInput it's doing Javascript, right?
Well, they made this nifty little thing so that you can make it a little
smarter. Here's an example (yes, I actually ran it to make sure it works:
<script>
function ExtraCheck(cForm, cObject, cValue) {
if (cValue.length < 10)
return false;
else
return true;
}
function MoveFocus(cForm, cObject, cValue, cErrorText) {
alert(cErrorText);
cObject.focus();
return false;
}
</script>
<cfform name="testing" method="post" action="test.cfm">
Name: <cfinput type="Text"
name="Name"
message="Please enter your name"
required="Yes"
onError="MoveFocus"><br>
Phone Number: <cfinput type="Text"
name="PhoneNumber"
message="Please enter your phone number"
required="Yes" onValidate="ExtraCheck" onError="MoveFocus"
maxlength="30"><br>
Note: <cfinput type="Text"
name="Extra"
message="Please enter something else, at least 10 characters long"
required="Yes"
onValidate="ExtraCheck"
onError="MoveFocus"
maxlength="30"><br>
<input type="submit" name="Process">
</cfform>
<cfif IsDefined("Form.Process")>
<cfoutput><hr>
#Form.Name#<br>
#Form.PhoneNumber#<br>
#Form.Extra#
</cfoutput>
</cfif>

Subject: if anyone from macromedia is listening - cfinput request
please make it so cfinput can do a focus() method for the field that is
causing the exception. this is the only thing that prevents me from using
the tag and having to do it in javascript.
