Title: Onvalidate attribute of cfinput...

Hmm... It sounds like you want to do client-side validation of database information. You're either going to have to return all of the data to the browser or make javascript open a database connection. Both of those are less than optimal solutions... If you have to look up database information for validation (such as username/password validation), make the round trip. It usually works out better... ;-) So to answer the question, you really can't use onvalidate to do the username verification unless you want to expose a bunch of data to the user or create a gnarly javascript function.

Hi All,
I need to check against a database to see if a username exists, how can I do that using onvalidate calling a javascript function?
