This works for any input in CF8: <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("input").each(function(){ var inptname = $(this).attr("name"); $("input[name="+inptname+"_CFFORMREQUIRED]").remove(); }); }); </script>
TEST CASE (TRY IT WITH SCRIPT AND WITHOUT AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS) <cfform name="test"> <cfinput type="text" required="yes" name="testvar" validateat="onserver"> <cfinput type="checkbox" required="yes" validateat="onserver" name="testagain"> </cfform> Drop the script in a custom tag and call it onrequest and you're good to go! There is a hidden field needed to validate the field. Remove that hidden input with some JQuery and no more validation! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
