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
Re: cflayout weird problem
Dave, thanks for the reply. I did run it in firefox and the data doesn't get wiped out in that browser. So you are right it looks like it is a browser issue. I've never validated with just javascript, I'll have to look around for examples. 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:311438 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
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
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 option tag. With this the validation will not work when I set the cfselect tag to required. Here's my code: cfform action=NewEmployeeEntry.cfm name=newEmpInsertForm method=POST cflayout type=tab style=width:900; cflayoutarea title=Employee Info style=background-color:##CC table id=formTable tr td colspan=4 align=right input type=submit name=insertHRpartButton value=Update /td /tr trtd colspan=4hr width=80% align=center/td/tr tr thName:/th td cfinput type=text name=p_employeeName class=boxes size=50 maxlength=70 required=yes message=Please enter the new employee's name onChange=spacesCk(this); /td thEmployee No.:/th td cfinput type=text name=p_employeeNo class=boxes size=4 maxlength=4 required=yes message=Please enter the employee's number validate=integer onChange=spacesCk(this); /td /tr tr thTitle:/th td colspan=3 cfinput type=text name=p_employeeTitle class=boxes size=80 maxlength=100 required=yes message=Please enter the new employee's title onChange=spacesCk(this); /td /tr tr thRCN:/th td cfinvoke component=/hr/hr_CFCs/HR_employee method=HREmployeeRCNInfo returnvariable=rcnlist select name=p_employeeRCN class=boxes option value=/option cfoutput query=rcnlist option value=#emp_rcn##emp_rcn# - #mid(emp_rcn_name,9,35)#/option /cfoutput /select /td thTime Reporting Group:/th td cfinput type=text name=p_employeeRptRCN class=boxes size=6 maxlength=6 required=no message=Please enter the new employee's Time Reporting Group onChange=spacesCk(this); /td /tr tr thSupervisor:/th td cf_betterselect name=p_supervisor formname=newEmpInsertForm class=boxes option/option cfoutput query=EmpInfoQuery option value=#emp_no#,#emp_last_name#,#emp_nick_name##emp_last_name#, #emp_nick_name#/option /cfoutput /cf_betterselect /td thStart Date:/th td cfinput type=text name=p_startDate class=boxes size=10 maxlength=10 required=yes validate=date message=Please enter the new employee's start date onChange=spacesCk(this); /td /tr tr thLocation:/th td cfselect name=p_Location class=boxes required=yes message=select location cfoutput query=EmpLocationsList option value=#emp_locat##emp_locat#/option /cfoutput /cfselect /td /tr !---tr thFunctional Area:/th
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:
cfform action=NewEmployeeEntry.cfm name=newEmpInsertForm method=POST
onsubmit=return doSubmit();
IN your head area, add the following:
script
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;
}
/script
Change your cfselect to:
select name=p_Location class=boxes required=yes message=select
location
option/option
cfoutput query=EmpLocationsList
option value=#emp_locat##emp_locat#/option
/cfoutput
/select
Modify the alerts to say whatever you want to say when wrong information is
entered.
Dave
