cfselect

Cold · Feb 20, 2001

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with <cfselect> in my cfform.
The advantage of using cfforms is that u can popup messages once nothing's been fillen in a formfield.
But when does that happen with <cfselect>?
You can optionally make the field required and fill in your popup message, but everytime i submit my form nothing's being popped up!
I tried everything!
eg
<cfselect name="name" message="select this field!" required="Yes">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="first option">one</option>
<option value="second option">two</option>
<option value="third option">three</option>
</cfselect>

Can someone please help me out? tnx

Hi,

I had the same problem to solve. I had to use Javascript.
For that reason I had to use 'select' instead of 'cfselect'.
1) function in Javascript :
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function check_form(){
if (document.forms[0].SelectName.options[document.forms[0].SelectName.selectedIndex].value == '') {
alert('Message');
return(false);}}
</script>
</head>

2) Select:
<select name="SelectName" >
<option ></option>
<option value="first option">one</option>
<option value="second option">two</option>
<option value="third option">three</option>
</select>

3) Validation when submit:
<INPUT type="submit" name="FormName" value="Insert" onclick="return(check_form());">
