CFFORM script running slowly

Apr 24, 2008 12:19 PM

I've been working on an extranet app that would allow a vendor to update multiple purchase order records in a single screen without having to click to open each record and save individually. I show a whole list of POs with 4 fields per PO, and then lines for each item on the PO with 3 fields per line. The user updates any or all fields and then clicks Save, and I process the whole form. This is being done in CF8 using an HTML CFFORM.

The problem I'm having seems to be when I pass a certain number of records on the page--I get one of those "a script is causing your page to run slowly" messages, in both IE and Firefox. I eliminated my own Javascripts as a possible cause, leaving the Javascripts generated by the CFFORM. Sure enough, I changed the form to a regular HTML form and the script error went away. But that means I will have to go back and code my own validation routines and calendar controls.

Is there a known limit to how many CFINPUT elements can efficiently run on a page? Any workarounds for a CFFORM with hundreds of elements? I realize there are other ways to accomplish this, but I'd like to know for this one in particular if it simply can't be done.
