Could you just put
<CFPARAM name="FORM.q1" default="no response">
before the insert statement.

Subject: [cfaussie] Form verification and creating a hidden field on submit

Hi All,

I have a form that has a number of radio boxes and input fields for the
user to select from. The form is part of a survey. The problem is that the
form relies on a form field being populated once submitted. If the user
decides that they don't want to answer the question (which is a valid
option for the survey). It will cause a error when updating the database
later in the process. I was hoping to use Server-side validation instead
of Client-side

What i need the form to do is check to see if the user has input any
information into the form field if not populate a hidden field.

It would be something like this:

<form name="form" method="post" action="question.cfm">

<input type="radio" name="q1" value="yes">
<input type="radio" name="q1" value="No">
<textarea name="q1" wrap="virtual" cols="75" rows="5"></textarea>

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="submit">

<!--- if form has been answered go to question.cfm ---->
<!--- if form has not been answered add --->
<input type="hidden" name="q1" value"no response">
<!--- then go to question.cfm ---->

</form>

Thanks

Jake
