Hey All,
I've debated this issue with my local associates many times, so I
thought I'd throw it out there and see what some other folks have to say
about it.
Do you use CFFORM and it's built in client side form element validation,
or do you use a server side approach (i.e. do some error
checking...build an error message and display it)?
My pet peeve with CFFORM is the javascript pop-up windows show one at a
time which could drive a user crazy. If you use a combo of both client
and server side validation, you could confuse the user (which we all
know get confused very quick). They think they've filled in the form
properly and then all of a sudden they are looking at a list of new
errors.
Of course CF 4.5.1 has the "onvalidate" attribute in cfinput which
allows you to expand the kind of validation you can do, but you're still
stuck with one error message at a time.
There is also the issue of hits on the server. Of course client side is
better here.
Comment away...suggestions welcome...custom solutions??
Thanks in advance
