If they form isn't validated correctly just use the javascript back function
("javascript: history.back()"). This will take them back to where they
were. The best validation is done on within the same form actually. Look
at <CFFORM> instead of <Form>. There is already some inherited checking
feature with it and if not you can create your own with Javascript. This
way your form doesn't have to be processed and the checking is done on the
client side rather than the server side in turn making the user have a
shorter load time

Subject: Reloading of the field values on add/edit form
Hello there,
Sorry if I'm asking a question that have been asked before... I'm new to CF
and was looking for help on how to reload the values of a form once the user
submits it...
The scenario:
I have a form that I use for add/edit, once the user presses the add/update
bottom, I send it to another template that validates all the require fields,
if one fails the process is redirected to the parent form where the required
field(s) are marked.
The problem:
my problem is that when the parent form is redisplayed all the info that the
user typed disappeared, and the user have to re-enter the info again. I need
to know how to reload all the info previously keyed into the form before
displaying it to the user.
TIA
