I'm doing both client side (JS) and server-side form validation.
Typically in JS Client side, if there are a number of required fields
not filled in by the user, upon submit, a single popup alert occurs
listing all the fields that need to be filled in.
I want to do this same process with server side (using CFM) as well. In
other words, using a first name field as an example, I'd like to replace
the CFLOCATION statements in each check group (I could wind up with 30
checks on the various field) with something that will "remember" the
#val# number and then lump them all one CFLOCATION statement at the end
of the validation routine, such as:
<CFLOCATION
URL="#REQUEST.webroot##REQUEST.Ssubwebroot#/default.cfm?pID=#URL.pID#&va
l=19a, 19b, etc." ADDTOKEN="No">
The &val= appendage would be dynamic, only having those values which did
not pass the server-side validation.
How would I accomplish something like this?
==============================================
<!--- First Name --->
<!--- Check that the field is required, 19a --->
<CFLOCK SCOPE="SESSION" TIMEOUT="10" TYPE="READONLY">
<CFIF SESSION.ecom.firstname IS "">
<CFLOCATION
URL="#REQUEST.webroot##REQUEST.Ssubwebroot#/default.cfm?pID=#URL.pID#&va
l=19a" ADDTOKEN="No">
</CFIF>
</CFLOCK>
<!--- Check that the field has only alphabetical
characters, 19b --->
<CFLOCK SCOPE="SESSION" TIMEOUT="10" TYPE="READONLY">
<CFSET VARIABLES.testFirstName =
#IsAlphabet(SESSION.ecom.firstname)#>
</CFLOCK>
<CFIF VARIABLES.testFirstName IS "No">
<CFLOCATION
URL="#REQUEST.webroot##REQUEST.Ssubwebroot#/default.cfm?pID=#URL.pID#&va
l=19b" ADDTOKEN="No">
</CFIF>
===============================================
Thanks,
Mark
