Re: How to make a CFSELECT Required
It only applies to CFFORMS. not quite the same thing. No, I think you misunderstood. I was responding to Azadi's comment. There is a note in the documentation mentioning the required/space fix applies only to size=1 lists, and only with flash forms. I thought something may have changed. http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/Tags_r-s_14.html -Leigh ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:339686 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: How to make a CFSELECT Required
You could add to the page your own _CF_hasValue function and let the new one handle any non out of the box needs. There is even an example of this done in a old comment on Ben Forta's blog. The example is for a single select, so if I understand the OP's original email then I think it would work for this need. Here is a direct link to the comment that was made: http://forta.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=A61BB31F-3048-80A9-EFC01CEF006F9775#cC53F7D0A-3048-80A9-EF775D5DC62C6FA7 http://forta.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=A61BB31F-3048-80A9-EFC01CEF006F9775#cC53F7D0A-3048-80A9-EF775D5DC62C6FA7 Aaron On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 10:38 AM, Leigh cfsearch...@yahoo.com wrote: It only applies to CFFORMS. not quite the same thing.

Re: How to make a CFSELECT Required
as per cfml documentation, to make cfselecta required field you have to set the value of the default option (the pre-selected option which user has to change) to a signe space string option value= CFIF get04.CountryCode IS ''selected/cfifPlease select/option I wasn't aware you could do that. That's a nice feature! And obviously better than my suggestion.

Re: How to make a CFSELECT Required
I wasn't aware you could do that. Ditto That's a nice feature! It never ceases to amaze me how many convenience features are built into CF. I work with PHP quite a bit and while I am sure that I can always find a library to take care of most tasks, it still remains that I have to hunt down, evaluate and most often hack said libraries. With CF it is most often a mater of There is a tag or function for that. Not only that but said tags and functions always seem to do just what you need them to do, out of the box. It is amazingly well thought out. G!

Re: How to make a CFSELECT Required
It only applies to CFFORMS. not quite the same thing.One choice with CFFORMS is flash forms, but there are also XML forms and HTML forms, all of which use the built-in cfforms tags, validation and jquery functionality.

Re: How to make a CFSELECT Required
I want to force the user to select a country code when submitting a form.
The select box looks like:
cfselect name=countrycode required=Yes size=5 message=Please
select a country code.
option value= CFIF get04.CountryCode IS ''selected/cfifPlease
select/option
option value=AU CFIF get04.CountryCode IS 'AU'selected/cfif
Australia/option
etc.
I do not want them to be able to select the value= option.
How to do this?
Unless you simply omit the empty, descriptive option, you'll have to
use JavaScript - something like this:
script
function checkCountryCode() {
if (document.forms[0].countrycode.selectedIndex == 0) {
window.alert('Please select a country code.');
return false;
}
}
/script
form ... onsubmit=return checkCountryCode();
...
/form
