You could try this...
<input type="submit" value="Submit Form"
onClick="return(checkForm(this.form));" />
Then in the JS:
<script language="Javascript">
function checkForm(myform) {
if(myform.comments.value.match(/^\s*$/)) {
// it's empty
alert('You must enter a value for comments');
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
</script>

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?
