Hi all,
The code below is an illustration of what I want to do. The actual form and JavaScript validation is more complex. I am using a CFWindow that contains the form. When a form button is selected I want to run a JavaScript form validation routine then submit. The issue is that the browser loads the form's action page and just sits there. What I want is the form to be submitted, the CFWindow to close like normal. The question boils down to: how to submit a CFWindow form using JavaScript.
Thanks,
Jeff
