It working well, Daemach! I've just got to tweak my Regex's to provide better validation statements in ColdFusion.
Mine aren't quite proper for the Interest Rate (need digits and periods only) and for years (need digits only). Ajax is quite exciting to be able to send data for processing with refreshing the page! I see a *lot* of possibilities well beyond just validating, such as using form fields for querying against data, etc. Once I get the principles of how jQuery works and the syntax to implement, I'll be off and running! Thanks for your help!

In this case you are handling each of the results differently so you could do it by putting anonymous functions directly in the post callbacks like this: $(document).ready(function(){ $("#Principal").blur(function(){ $.post("callpage_Validate_Mortgage_Inputs.cfm", {principal:$("#Principal").val()}, function (data) {$("#Result_Principal").empty().append(data) } ) }); $("#Interest").blur(function(){ $.post("callpage_Validate_Mortgage_Inputs.cfm",{interest:$("#Interest").val( )}, function (data) {$("#Result_Interest").empty().append(data) }) }); $("#Years").blur(function(){ $.post("callpage_Validate_Mortgage_Inputs.cfm",{years:$("#Years").val()}, function (data) {$("#Result_Years").empty().append(data) }) }); }); OR you could pass the target div to an outside function like this: $(document).ready(function(){ $("#Principal").blur(function(){ $.post("callpage_Validate_Mortgage_Inputs.cfm", {principal:$("#Principal").val()}, function (data) { handleCallback("Principal",data); }) }); $("#Interest").blur(function(){ $.post("callpage_Validate_Mortgage_Inputs.cfm",{interest:$("#Interest").val( )}, function (data) { handleCallback("Interest",data); }) }); $("#Years").blur(function(){ $.post("callpage_Validate_Mortgage_Inputs.cfm",{years:$("#Years").val()}, function (data) { handleCallback("Years",data); }) }); }); function handleCallback(target,data) { $("#Result_" + target).empty().append(data); } In general you should avoid creating outside functions inside the document.ready function for cleanliness if nothing else.
