The basic problem is that the "status_required" field is there to make use of CF's "magic"form validation (see http://tinyurl.com/atn87) - so you won't be able to handle this after the page is submitted, since cf's magic code will run before anything you can do (not sure about code in the OnRequestStart method of the Application.cfc) I'd say: 1) remove the field completely and implement your own server side validation ("status" is required unless [checkbox]). This assumes that you're already doing some kind of server side validation, so that you can slot this in without too much trouble. 2) Redirect from javascript: Of course, the users lose all the information they entered into the form... 3) use javascript to disable/enable the hidden field (this is a wild guess, haven't tested but should work). If the field is disabled, the value is not sent to the back end, and so the magic validation rule requiring the presence of the "status"field never fires... Plus you still have access to all the other stuff they filled in. /t -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%3Cinput-type%3D%22Hidden%22-name%3D%22status_required%22%3E-issue-tf2417019.html#a6742144 Sent from the Cold Fusion - Technical mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:256152 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
