CFFORM actually just renders a plain old FORM and javascript. You can even write JS to interact with the generated JS to extend the functionality (MINIMUM length for example...), but I found it a little unreliable and generally just use regular FORMs and hand made JS.

You can certainly do this. Here's an example: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Additional Validation</title> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- function validateme(myform) { alert(myform.name); if (myform.mytextarea.value == '') { alert('textarea is empty!'); return false; } else { return true; } } //--> </SCRIPT> </head> <body> <cfform action="foo.cfm" onsubmit="return validateme(this);"> <textarea name="mytextarea"></textarea> <br> <input type="submit"> </cfform> </body> </html> Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ voice: (202) 797-5496 fax: (202) 797-5444 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
