if you get it right, it's usually not a problem. perhaps if you were trying to do your own validation on the same fields as CF validates, then there might be an issue.

Whenever I have tried that things have gone horribly wrong as the the CF validation code seems to confuse the js that I have written. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 May 2003 13:27 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ cf-dev ] and javascript whizzes around? <cfform name="register" onSubmit="return CheckValues()"> <script language="javascript"> function CheckValues() { if (document.register.password1.value != document.register.password2.value) { alert("The values for 'password' and 'confirm pasword' are different.

I thought about an onBlur event.. this is the code I'm using: <cfif IsDefined("session.loggedin")> <cfquery datasource="#dsn#" name="getuser"> SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = #session.userid# </cfquery> </cfif> ... <cfform name="register" action="#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME#" method="post"> ... <tr> <td align="right"><b>choose/change password</b></td> <td> <cfinput type="text" name="password1" required="yes" <cfif IsDefined("session.loggedin")> value="<cfoutput>#getuser.password#</cfoutput>" </cfif> message="please choose or modify your password"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><b>confirm password</b></td> <td> <cfinput type="text" name="password2" required="yes" <cfif IsDefined("session.loggedin")> value="<cfoutput>#getuser.password#</cfoutput>" </cfif> message="please confirm your password"> </td> </tr> what I want is something like this for the password2 field (my javascript not v. good ;-) onBlur="CheckValues();" then the function would be: <script language="javascript"> function CheckValues() { if (register.password1.value != register.password2.value) { alert("The values for 'password' and 'confirm pasword' are different. Please make sure both fields are the same."); } } </script> would this work in conjunction with a cfinput, or would my script confuse the CF validation? I haven't tested this yet - wanted to get some feedback on it (while I write the rest of the form before testing...). I figure I can use the CF validation to make sure there's a value for password2 before the form is submitted, then my own script to make sure the two password values are the same... _form_.register.password1.value...?
