I just need to make the field required, so I have this :
<cfinput type="text" name="tracking_number" required="yes" message="Carrier Tracking Number is required.">
However, when I just click submit, the form submits and the validation does not work. What is wrong with my code ?
I also have some javasript validation, so on cfform, I have this :
<cfform action="closeItem.cfm" method="post" name="closeItemForm" onSubmit="return ValidateForm()">
But I don't think the onSubmit will override the cfinput validation, will it ?
Seems simple enough, but I just cannot see what the problem is.
Run the following basic test page.
<cfif isdefined("form.sbmt")>
<cfdump var="#form#">
</cfif>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ValidateForm(){
alert('ValidateForm() script called.');
return true;
}
</script>
<cfform method="post" name="closeItemForm" onSubmit="return ValidateForm()">
<cfinput type="text" name="tracking_number" required="yes" message="Carrier Tracking Number is required.">
<cfinput name="sbmt" type="submit" value="send">
</cfform>
When you attempt to submit an empty field, it should show you the validation message.
If not, view the page source in the browser. Are the following 2 lines (or similar) present in the source:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/cfform.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/CFIDE/scripts/masks.js"></script>
