Ajas,
IIRC cfinput will always use a hidden form field on the client to
force server side validation. If that's still the case (again, I
believe it is) this can be easily bypassed. (No, that doesn't solve
your issue, but it moves the problem elsewhere.)

Hi there,
I have this code which checks if password is strong i.e. atleast 8
characters long, consiting of one Upper case and one Lower case and
one Number.and if not alerts the user about it. I am using a regular
expression to do this as u can see from code below. The problem is
that once the alert is displayed, even if the user corrects the
error and enters a strong password, the error alert does not go
away. For example, if i entered password for the first time, then
obviously I will get alert saying password is not strong. Then,
afterwards if i correct password to be lets say Leave1234 which is 9
chars, has one uppper case, one lower case and has a number also, I
still end up getting password not strong message. I tried removing
onBlur,OnSubmit one at a time but doesnt work.
Any ideas????
Here is the code
New Password:
<!--- some possible regular expressions i used new_password --->
<!--- ^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{8,}$ or --->
<cfinput type="password" name="new_password"
validate="regular_expression" pattern="^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-
Z]).{8,}$" validateat="onBlur,onSubmit,onServer" message="Your
password is not strong. Your password should be atleast 8 characters
long, consiting of one Upper case and one Lower case and one
Number." >
