Can you "submit" the data back to the form page... maybe loop through the
formfields list and create a batch of hidden fields with a form to go back
to the entry page, then the pop-up javascript does.
Something along the lines of ...
from name="resubmit" action="form1.cfm"
cfoutput
cfloop list="#form.formfields#" delimiter="," index="ffield"
input type="hidden" name="#ffield#" value="#Evaluate(form.#ffield#)#"
/cfoutput
/form
script
alert('you messed up the form. please fill it out right');
document.form.submit();
/script
You'd need to set up your action page to handle the values being passed back
to it, but that's one solution to what you're wanting.
The other idea is to move the validation to the data page using Javascript
and an OnSubmit validation method.
