You can't have a form field called due_date passed to a coldfusion action page, unfortunately...
<input name="due_date"> tells the ColdFusion server to validate that a field called "form.due" contains a valid date value, with the value in form.due_date being the message to inform the user that the date is invalid. Since form.due_required is not also specified, a blank value in the field will not produce the error message telling the user to go back and input a proper date. You'll have to change the name of the input field to "duedate" or append it with the name of what the due date is for ( you can't pre-pend it because "item_due_date" would have the same problem )... hth S.
