Re: qForms Question
I know I can do this in Javascript but I'm hesitant to roll my own when qForms is already validating the rest of the form (some 15 other required fields). Is there a way to do this in qForms? This should do what you want: http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/ext/atLeastOne.htm You can use it like: oForm.textareaName.validateAtLeastOne(checkboxName); That should enforce that at least the textarea is filled in or one of the checkboxes is checked. I tried this and it does not seem to be working. I'm not getting any errors on the JS Error console so I know it's *working*. I have all of the formfields created, here is the JS call for qForms: script type=text/javascript objForm = new qForm(catrequest); objForm.catalogtype.description = catalog type; objForm.fldComments.description = general comment; objForm.catalogtype.validateAtLeastOne(fldComments); objForm.required(txtFirstName,txtLastName,txtCompany,txtEmail,txtAddress,txtCity,txtState,txtZip,txtCountry,txtPhone); objForm.txtFirstName.description = First Name; objForm.txtLastName.description = Last Name; objForm.txtCompany.description = Company Name; objForm.txtEmail.description = email address; objForm.txtAddress.description = mailing address; objForm.txtCity.description = City; objForm.txtState.description = State (or Province); objForm.txtZip.description = Zip or Postal Code; objForm.txtCountry.description = country; objForm.txtPhone.description = phone number; objForm.txtFirstName.focus(); /script Do I need to make any changes to the Form code itself? ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:300646 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Are you loading the validateAtLeastOne() function? Also, make sure that the textarea doesn't contain any whitespacing. If you wrote your textarea tags as: textarea /textarea Then you're tag has whitespace, which would cause the validation rule to be skipped (since it contains a value.) -Dan ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:300653 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

qForms Question
I've inherited a form that is using qForms for validation. The form includes a series of three checkboxes, all with the same name but different values, further down there is a textarea. The client has asked for a validation rule that requires either one of the checkboxes to be checked, the textarea to contain a value or both. If the user does not check a box or enter something in the texarea, a validation message needs to appear. I know I can do this in Javascript but I'm hesitant to roll my own when qForms is already validating the rest of the form (some 15 other required fields). Is there a way to do this in qForms? Thanks!

Re: qForms Question
Is there a way to do this in qForms? The short answer is yes. Here are the qForms docs: http://www.pengoworks.com/qforms/docs/. If you're still stuck, there's a qForms forum/list, which the author often answers. If you still want to roll your own, just add an onsubmit statement to your form for return myNewFunc(). It will fire along with the normal qForms validations. But qForms has ways to create pretty much whatever you need. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:300517 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: qForms Question
Dan, oForm.textareaName.validateAtLeastOne(checkboxName); That is extremely cool. I've been using qForms for a long time, but I didn't realize you could relate validations across elements that way.

Thanks for the tip. It's not a perfect solution--since you need to attach the validation to one of the fields, but that custom method will do the trick for those validate either a or b type of situations. -Dan ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:300552 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: qForms Question
Dan, It's not a perfect solution--since you need to attach the validation to one of the fields, but that custom method will do the trick for those validate either a or b type of situations. Seems pretty good to me. So -- the method you specified will validate that EITHER one of the checkboxes is checked OR there is content in the textarea? That's the sort of thing where I always added a custom validator or at least used an Expression. Are there other examples on your site, or elsewhere, that go into this sort of validation of related fields? I must have missed them. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:300564 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

OT: QForms Question..
Anyone here using qforms?
Anyone see anything wrong with this?
I keep getting an object expected error.. g
form
input type=Button name=btnDeletePoc value=Delete POC
class=submit-button /
/form
objForm2.btnAddPoc.addEvent(onClick,spawnWindow('http://www.google.com');
);
objForm2.btnDeletePoc.addEvent(onClick,myTestFunction(); return true;);
function myTestFunction(){
alert('test');
return true;
}
The funny thing is, the add button that fires off spawnWindow works fine...
but the myTestFucntion will not work. It has to be something blatantly
obvious!LOL
Anyone?
Thanks
Mike
