Thanks Colm - I remember that from my FastTrack course now!
however I was hoping to do it client-side...
Paul - thanks for that code....almost works but not quite. I get the alert
box and message as requested BUT when I OK the alert message the form still
submits itself???
CODE IS:
<script language="Javascript">
function checkForm(myform) {
if(myform.comments.value.match(/^\s*$/)) {
// it's empty
alert('You must enter a value for comments');
}
else {
myform.submit();
}
}
</script>
<textarea name="comments" cols="50" rows="12"></textarea>
<input type="image" src="images/submit.gif" onClick="checkForm(this.form);">
Is it because I am using an image for button???

No equiv cfform tag for this. You have to use something like <textarea
name="mybox" cols="25" rows="20"> text</textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="mybox_required" value="required">

Subject: [ cf-dev ] CFForm text box
I have a form - using cfform - with a multiline text box (<textarea
name="comments" cols="50" rows="12"></textarea>)
I want to use JS validation or cfform validation to make sure this box has
an entry before the form gets submitted and alert the user if it is empty
however, I can't find the appropriate CFForm tag to do this - I have found
<cftextinput> and <cfinput type="text"> but none of these seems to cater for
multi-row boxes??? is there a tag for this?
