Hello,

We just got to the point when we need to upgrade our CF5 to CF8. When I tested my forms, it appears validation dones't work on any of them. I mean simple cfinput validation...here is an example of simplest code...

<script language="JavaScript1.2"><!--

function validate(f) {

if ( f.country.value == "" )
{
alert('Please enter Country');
f.country.focus();
return false;
}

if ( f.country.value == "USA" || f.country.value == "Canada" )
{
if ( f.state.value == "" )
{
alert('Please enter State');
f.state.focus();
return false;
}
}
if( ! (/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/.test
(f.email.value)))
{

alert("Please enter valid Email address!")
return false;
}



return true;

}
//-->
</script>
</head>

..........

Does anyone has any idea why it doesn't work and how can I fix this problem????

Thank you!

Usually it means there is a problem with the /CFIDE mapping. That is where all the cfform validation files live. If it is not accessible, none of the cfform stuff will work.

Try and load one of the files in your browser. If you get a 404 error, that is your problem.

Do you know what should I do to fix it?

Thank you!

Hi again,

I have asked IT and they told me I have used wrong URL.

It didn't give me 404 error

It gave me something like...

I didn't copy everything, because it's too long
Do you have idea if that's what should be displayed?
Thank you!

Oh...I just tried my page with staging.asmeconferences.org instead of IP address and it works! Before IT upgraded development server to CF8, I have used IP address and it worked fine. Now, after upgrade, I just have to use name and not IP. Thank you very much for helping me!
