Jeff, I don't have enough experience with this to offer any answer, but I will make a suggestion: what version of CF is this, and what level of cumulative hotfixes are installed? You can see this in the "system information" page of the CF Admin.
It's possible that this issue has been addressed by Adobe (or in the underlying javascript libraries they bundle for this feature). Just a thought. I realize you maybe cannot (or do not) want to do any such updates, and then just want a workaround. Hope you find one. /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Jeff Howard Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 2:54 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] input type=datefield validation question I have a form that has a required input of type=datefiled. If the user tabs thru and doesn't enter a date a hidden div with an error message saying the datefield is required becomes visible. There is an onblur validation for this. My problem is that if the user goes back and just clicks on the CF created datefield calendar and then tabs away the error message does not become invisible again. Instead they have to actual type something in the text input next to the CF generated calendar control. <cfinput disabled="#BOAdisabled#" type="datefield" name="date#i#" id="date#i#" value="#thisEffectiveDate#" maxlength="10" onblur="validateDateField(this, true);validateDescriptionLine(this);" validateat="onblur" style="width:90px"/> My question is, does anyone know how to force the validation if the user just uses the control to pick the date?
