Title: Message

Use the submit button – have your validation script return true or false for passed and failed respectively which it looks like you’ve got already, then have something like this…

<input type=”submit” value=”Submit” >return chkRevision();”>

If validation fails, the button never triggers, if it passes, it triggers and invokes the form’s onSubmit handler .

Thanks Mark, I agree – but how can I stop this happening and actually get cfform to kick off an extra custom validation (ie mine) after *its* finished?

I think its the onsubmit Rich

When cfform creates the _javascript_ is initiates the validation by dynamically adding an onsubmit

so what you'd end up with in the browser is something like

its basically overwritting your onsubmit, or it sounds like they might even be conflicting

Yuck. I've inherited code which I'm debugging and it all uses cfform, a personal peeve of mine.

Now, perhaps its because I came back from Glastonbury yesterday and so am a little bit mental, but I'm trying to get this cfform to fire off a validation script on submit.

So I've added the onsubmit parameter to the cfform call like thus:

<cfform action="" method="POST" name="itemFrm" enctype="multipart/form-data" chkRevision();">

And I have the following function declared just above it like thus:

<script>

function chkRevision() {

                        if (document.itemFrm.revision.value && !document.itemFrm.EditComments.value.length) {

                                    alert('Warning!\n\nPlease ensure that you have completed the \'Edit Comments\' field.');

                                    return false

                        } else {

                                    return true

                        }

            }

</script>

That should work yea? So why does the JS give me a Object Not Found error when run at the browser on this line (which is obviously created by cfform)

function _CF_checkitemFrm(_CF_this)

{

            if (!_CF_hasValue(_CF_this.title, "TEXT" ))

            {

                        if (!_CF_onError(_CF_this, _CF_this.title, _CF_this.title.value, "Please enter Title"))

                        {

                                    return false;

                        }

            }

return chkRevision();

            return true;

}

p.s. I *would* dearly love to turn the whole form into a normal form, but there's a lot of work required (large form) to do that and this is a quick fix, very unfortunately.

I think I've left my mind in a field.

Ta everyone.

Rich
