Form Fields Undefined - Intermittent

[drmaves]

I've been having a problems with form fields being reported as 'undefined'. This doesn't happen consistently. Most of the time the forms work fine but once in a while my users get this error. This is happening on multiple forms and can be different form fields that cause the error. I'm aware of using cfparam to catch those form fields that need it so that's not the problem.

Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?

Is it *all* the form fields, or just some of them?

If it's all of them, could it be similar to what I was experiencing when I raised this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/623826.

If it's just some of the form fields, it's not something like you having false expectations of how checkbox values are passed (ie: they're not, if the checkbox is unchecked)?

Adam,

Thanks for responding. It's not all the fields and they are not checkbox fields (I know how to handle that). Also, they are not always the same fields.

If it fails and I get an error message, I can usually resubmit the form and it will work the second time. Sometimes it take two or three times but eventually it will work.

If you are the one submitting it, turn on de-bugging.  See if you have a form scope at all.

Dan,

I will try and do that but the problem is that I can't generate the error consistently. If  it doesn't have a form scope at all then what would you look for given that is does work most of the time? Likewise, if only the one field is not in the form scope what would you look for then?

For my answer to the first question, read the thread Adam provided the link to.

For the 2nd question, if the missing field was not a radio button or checkbox, I'd be amazed.

On 2nd thought, if some form fields were there and others were not, I'd look for conditional logic problems on both the form and action pages.
