Robert,

Did you ever get an answer on this?  I'm having the same issue in both Firefox and IE 6.

-Eric

Same issue with a slight variation occurs in CF10.    This being updated code, it's a slightly different error:

_10d=_10c.split("/");       Where 10c is undefined.

Stoney856's answer reminded me of the need for an ID, but after adding that, it still didn't work.

Turns out, I had two CFFORM's with the same ID on the page.   So the calendar gets confused as to what form element we're talking about.  So check for duplication of IDs on the page as well.

I tested the following code, which is equivalent to yours. It works as expected, no sweat.

<cfajaximport  tags="cfform,cftextarea,CFINPUT-DATEFIELD">

<cfform name="registration" id="registration" method="post" action="#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME#">

<cfinput  type="datefield" name="udf_43" id="udf_43" class="editbody" style="width:255px;" validate="date" validateat="ONSUBMIT"

required="yes" message="Required Field: Please enter the information for - BIRTHDATE.">

<cfinput  type="submit" name="sbmt" value="send">

</cfform>

<cfif isdefined("form.udf_43")>

<cfdump var="#form#">

</cfif>

My versions are:

ColdFusion: 10,0,3,283145

Internet Explorer: 9.0.8112

It might help to update your IE 9 browser or ColdFusion build.

That is the strange thing, the exact same code works on one page, but not the other.  There are no duplicate IDs on the page, there is only one form on the page (with a unique ID).  The error is pulling from the cfcalendar.js when referenced from a single input type=datefield (as there is only one on the form).  Short of upgrading to CF10 (not currently in the budget), is there a way to troubleshoot an IE version 9 only issue?

I am using CF Enterprise 9,0,1,274733 and IE 9.0.8112.

I cannot reproduce the error. If the code works on one page, but not on another, have you compared the source of both pages?

I have reproduced the error every single time by also giving the submit button an ID of udf_43. That leads me to ask: (a) What happens when you change the ID to something else, say, dayohn_43? (b) What happens when you remove the id attribute from the datefield tag?

Interesting idea.  1.  I removed the coded id.  When the page renders, the id is there anyway.  Still errors. 

I feel we've almost cornered it. Now, a slight variation of the experiment. What happens when you test with the following code (I have changed the name attribute, too, because the built-in ColdFusion scripts may automatically generate an ID from the name)

<cfform name="registration" id="registration" method="post" action="#cgi.SCRIPT_NAME#">

<cfinput  type="datefield" name="dayohn_43" class="editbody" style="width:255px;" validate="date" validateat="ONSUBMIT"

required="yes" message="Required Field: Please enter the information for - BIRTHDATE.">

<cfinput  type="submit" name="sbmt" value="send">

</cfform>

<cfif isdefined("form.dayohn_43")>

<cfdump var="#form#">

</cfif>

Please kindly leave the setting at name="dayohn_43" and send me the URL of the form. It will be just for an instant.

Added the X-UA-Compatible, with no change.  Here is the file.

Just a correction. I see on the web that a better version of the meta tag is

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >

What a puzzler! Following some more searching I see that the meta tag must be among the first within the head tag. So I thought of testing

<cfhtmlhead  text='<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">'>

and

<cfhtmlhead  text='<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">'>

Well...it works!  I added the

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> prior to the doctype and it works.  It also doesn't change the behavior in any other browser, so thanks alot!

I'm running into this myself but only with Firefox 19, Chrome, IE and Safari all work correctly.  Also, it only fails on some screens, others work fine.  No duplicate forms or field names.  Can't figure this one out.  ColdFusion 9.01.  Nothing on this page has fixed my situation. 

Error is " _293 is undefined" in cfcalendar.js line 43. 

I agree with cwhitescoe. But also check your other HTML tags. I had some bad code like this:

<table>

<cfform>

<tr><td> FORM CODE </td></tr>

</table>

</cfform>

The date picker icon would come up but woudn't show the actual date picker.

When I corrected it, by moving the cfform tag above the table tag, it worked.
