Dynamically set cfinput text values

[uconn1981]

I have two fields. One is cfselect. The other one is cfinput text for date. I want to do the following:

Dependong on the item selected in the cfselect field, there should dynamically display the date range a user should input. For example:

for item 1 selected display: you should input a date between 1980-1984.
for item 2 selected: you should input a date between 1985-1988
... so on.

How can we do that?

Thanks,

Tim

javascript unless you want to reload the page.

Your form action script would check to see if a date was entered. if it was, process the form as normal.

If a date was not entered, but a cfselect item was choosen, send the user back to the form page. Now you have a variable from the cfselect in either the url or form scope to use to decide what message (date range) to display.
