Just use the <CFINPUT>, <CFSELECT>, etc tags.

Example:

<CFINPUT TYPE="text" name="phone" size="10" maxlength="10" Required="yes" 
Message"You need to enter a phone number"
Validate="telephone">

If you look at it, it should be pretty self-explanatory.  The "required" 
atribute of the tag is either yes or no.  The "message" attribute of the 
tag is the text that appears in the pop-up window and the "validate" 
attribute of the tag will tells what kind of information should be in the 
field.  Cold Fusion does the rest for you and generates the 
javascript.  :o)  A good source, Forta's ColdFusion 4.0 book, pages 
825-826, 851.

I've done this on my pages through the action page for my forms.  I run a 
query first to see if there is a record for it already in the database.  I 
use #queryname.RecordCount# in my <CFIF> statement.  If it comes back as 
zero I insert the new record, or if it comes back as 1 I ask the user if 
they want to do an update and then pass to another action page that has an 
update query.
