You could just loop over all form field and test If they are blank.
E.g.
<cfset excludelist="submitbutton,whatever"> <!--- list of fields to exclude
from the check --->
<cfset blank = false>
<cfloop list="#form.fieldnames#" index="field">
<cfif not listfind(excludelist, field)>
<cfif len(form[field]) is 0>
<cfset blank = true>
<cfelse>
<cfset blank= false>
</cfif>
</cfif>
If all the submitted fields are blank, the variable BLANK will be true at
the end, if aven 1 is not blank, it will be false, so you can display your
validation message.

Subject: More of a JS Question/Forms
I know this isn't quite CF, but figure the folks around here have done this
easily.
I have two forms, and I just want to check if no value has been entered in
either form, and pop to tell the user to enter something! So I can't do a
required field in my validation because they can fill in one of three fields
or more in one form, but not the other.
Anyway, I would check form1 and form2 for no values...I get that, but wonder
how to check for nothing from each form.
Thanks.
