referencing data inside the textreaa would generate an error.

The biggest problem with this approach is that it offers nothing in the way
of actual enforcement of data. It takes about 2 seconds to bypass that kind
of validation either by frame hacks or form substitution.
Ok, for frame hacks, it shouldn't be applicable to a page that does not frame.
On form
I'm using cfajaxproxy with cfc and js class call to process a form. The form's
hidden field wasn't passed on because the cfc's arguments list does not contain
it.
Does this tag's ajax part fail to recognize the hidden field within a form or

The good news seems that one could validate server-side data using ajax call to

First, this has nothing to do with AJAX or server-side validation, really.
Your options for notifying the user of an error are no different with AJAX

Disagree. Server-side validation, traditionally means to send a form to cf

What's the odd ball. Form has dynamic elements with each starts with the
letter of A (e.g., A1, A2, A..n) among other elements, form is passed to

at each element level, intended).
