Well, if you use CFFORM, it should be possible for sure, or do you mean you want to use CFFORM validation WITHOUT using CFFORM? >>for instance, do you build you own credit card validation schema? If I needed to, yes, I would, no problem. On the other hand, CFFORM has no validation scheme to check if some user's identifier is unique by AJAX (at least not the last time I look at it), so I built my own. CFFORM has plenty of thing I don't need, and is missing a couple I need, so I designed my own. Another problem with CFFORM is when you must provide error message text, because your app is not in English: You must provide messages for all CFINPUT field, a PITA. -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
