Chris,
I'm doing something similar - passing data between forms as they are
submitted so that no data need be stored on the server until the user
finishes filling in all sections and submits the complete set.
I use WDDX in JavaScript to package each form's data into a single hidden
field on a separate form and submit that one.
The only time I have problems with validation are when the browser caches
previous versions of the .js files.
HTH,
Noam
p.s. please turn off MIME when sending to the list the server doesn't
support it.

Okay this is now beginning to get on my nerves...
For the purpose of keeping design tidy I've broken a form up through
5 =
templates (dsp_form_part_n.cfm)... Upload to the database can only
occur =
when all 5 forms have been successfully filled with valid data. Each
=
template has 4 tabs (<input type=3D"image"...>) that act as values
to =
tell the action template which display template to show on a submit.
All =
values start off parameterised and these are moved through the
templates =
as hidden fields... (are you keeping up? Ill be holding a quiz on
this =
later). Therefore a user may go back and forth through the form (set
of =
forms) and change details before finally submitting to the
database.=20
So what's wrong? When I go to this fuse for the first time, the =
fuseaction first creates the CFParams and gives the first form by =
default with no problems, but the javascript validation fails to
work. =
On clicking one of the tabs the validation will not run, but from
the =
next form no problem - all validation runs okay. I've checked the
html =
code in the browser source and it is no different when returning to
the =
template, but it'll run on the second go...
Is it me or is that not slightly odd...
Has anyone else seen this problem or am I a pioneer in the =
"fully-interactive form functionality phenomenom"... (If anyone
wants to =
try saying that whilst drunk I would love to hear the mp3).
Cheers
Taz
