I have an html cfform filled with cfinputs that ask for dates (type datefield), validates the date, but isn't required. In Firefox, if I submit the form it works fine. In internet explorer it gives me the error message stating that there's an error in the text. When I take out the "validate" attribute it works fine in IE, but I would still really like input that *is* given some validation using the CF tools, especially since the users for this site are not Americans.
Works in FF, not IE:
<cfinput required="no" type="datefield" name="#checklist_id#_planned" value="#input_name#" validate="date">
Works in FF and IE:
<cfinput required="no" type="datefield" name="#checklist_id#_planned" value="#input_name#">
Does anyone have an idea as to how to validate non-reuqired form inputs client side, using CF, in IE? Thanks!
