RE: cflayout weird problem
BJ,
Okay, not familiar with cf_betterselect, but the below should still work for
you:
Change your cfform tag to this:
IN your area, add the following:
function doSubmit() {
var oForm = document.newEmpInsertForm;
if(oForm.p_supervisor.selectedIndex == 0) {
alert('must select a supervisor');
return false;
}
if(oForm.p_location.selectedIndex == 0) {
alert('must select a location');
return false;
}
return true;
}
Change your to:
#emp_locat#
Modify the alerts to say whatever you want to say when wrong information is
entered.
Dave

Subject: Re: cflayout weird problem
Dave,
I am using cfform and some of the validation on tags with it. The two
places I don't is a custom tag I'm using cf_betterselect and the regular
select. the betterselect allows the user to type and narrow down the list.
the select tag I want the user to select a location and not have it default
to one so I put in an empty tag. With this the validation will not
work when I set the cfselect tag to required.
Here's my code:
Name:
Employee No.:
Title:
RCN:
#emp_rcn# - #mid(emp_rcn_name,9,35)#
Time Reporting Group:
Supervisor:
#emp_last_name#,
#emp_nick_name#
Start Date:
Location:
#emp_locat#
FERC/Walled Employee:
Transmission Apprentice:
Bargaining:
or
Non-Bargaining:
Need Office:
or Cubicle:
or N/A:

RE: cflayout weird problem
BJ, Post your form code (or a snippet) and what fields you're trying to validate and what you want validated and we can help. Also, check out the CF docs for CFFORM as it has a lot of built-in javascript validation that you can utilize through CF tags like CFINPUT and so on.

RE: cflayout weird problem
To my knowledge, this is a browser issue, not a cflayout issue, as you will get different results in different browsers. You can avoid this completely by using javascript to validate your fields. Dave -Original Message- From: BJ McShane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 3:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: cflayout weird problem I'm using the cflayout for tabs on my form. When the form submits, I check a couple of the fields for error checking and if the fields are wrong or not filled in I send the user back using the history.back() function. The forms returns but all the input the user put in is gone. If I take off the cflayout and just have a regular form the input data stays if there is an error. Does any one know of a work around or something I can do. thanks, bj ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:311436 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
