But now what I need to know is how to go about using dual validation...
I have nothing specific to which to point you. But the idea that came to me while I was skimming this thread is that CF is very good at creating dynamic JavaScript to be sent to the client. In other words, I would think it should not be too hard, and likely something like this exists in some framework or library out there, to create code that will use a set of validation rules to both validate data on the server and create the appropriate JS to be sent to the client for user side validation either stand alone or with AJAX style functionality when warranted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:275603 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
