Mark, The only way I know to do this is to use a CFPARAM for each expected variable, with a defult of null. You could do this dynamically using an index loop with a variable set in your application.cfm file that tells it how many to look for. Then, when you change your form, you only need adjust the value in your application.cfm file to fix your app. Then, on the server side, loop through the passed form fields, and reset the value of the var if a value is found. Then, append name of the null value forms to your "val" variable in your CFLOCATION.

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 ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
