Calling all jQuery/CF'ers. I'm not real satisfied with the error message placement options in Jorn Zaefferer's validation plug-in.
I like to place my error messages right above the form field that the error message references. Right now, as I understand it, Jorn's plug-in doesn't allow for that type of placement. Among the options are placement after the invalid element. Don't like that. Another option is to validate onSubmit and, while that's ok, I'm still limited to grouping the error messages at the top of the form. That's not a good user experience when the form may be 50 fields long and the user has to scroll up and down to check errors messages. Here's my scenario and question: I'm using jQuery to calculate a mortgage payment. Once the form is submitted, the form info is sent to a CF pages for processing, then the resulting payment is returned to the calling page. Very nice. The question is this.can I use CF to validate the form data and then, if there's an error, set some error messages in a scope, such as Form_Errors.Principal, etc., and send that info back to the calling page and display it in the form as described above? If all user input passes validation, then the other CF code processes the payment and returns it to the calling page. Is this kind validation possible without page refreshing? Rick
