Rich flash forms and validation functions
Hi. I used to use the following to validate my forms:
Can ICode:<!--- init form feilds ---> <cfparam name='form.FirstName' default=''> <cfparam name='form.Email' default=''> <!--- init error structure ---> <cfset FormError = StructNew()> <cfset FormError.FirstName = false> <cfset FormError.Email = false> <cfset FormError.Error = false> <cfif IsDefined('form.submit')> <!--- use my functions to assess the error state ---> <cfset FormError.Firstname = NOT ValidFormField( 'Firstname', 'textfield' )> <cfset FormError.Email = NOT ValidFormField( 'Email' , 'emailfield' )> <cfif FormError.Firstname OR FormError.Email> <cfset FormError.Error = true> </cfif> <cfif NOT FormError.Error> <!--- perform actions and go to sucess page ---> <cflocation url='somewherenice.cfm'> </cfif> </cfif> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN'> <html> <head> <title>Form</title> </head> <body> <form action='#CGI.PATH_INFO#' methid='post' name='thisForm'> <input name='Firstname' type='text' value='#form.Firstname#' class='form_input<cfif FormError.Firstname>_error</cfif>'> <input name='Email' type='text' value='#form.Email#' class='form_input<cfif FormError.Email>_error</cfif>'> <input type='submit' value='submit'> </form> </body> </html>
use the same functions, rather than Java-script, to validate and set the error
states of rich forms? M@)

Mike Nimer #2 Re: Rich flash forms and validation functions
So it looks like you are just calling some server side validation when the
form is submitted, and then changing the class attribute of the form fields
if there has been an error, right?
You can still use you server side validation, nothing has changed that would
break that. But in the flash forms you can't use css classes, however, you
can use css stylesheets inline with the style attribute.
<cfif formError.Firstname>
<cfset nameStyle = "...">
<cfelse>
<cfset nameStyle = "...">
</cfif>
<cfform>
<cfinput type="text" style="#nameStyle#">
</cfform>
