New CF user with multiple forms validation problems

Newbedude · Jun 6, 2003

Thank you in advance for the help.
I have 2 separate forms on one main page
one is for Adding the other is to update a list of employees. The reason i did this was to validate the information client side using the Yaromat add on behavior each of them have their own submit buttons.
Question #1
The JS validation only works with the add on submit button and does not work with the update? Any help?

Question #2
When validating and updating server side im having trouble with the action page. I can not seem to pass the form values for that specific form. HOw do you pass/call a specific form? ex with 1 form it would be something like Form.addID but with multiple forms i can not seem to pass it properly for validation.

I new to Cold fusion so I apologize if this is a too complex of a question and the length of it But I appricate any guidence you can give me. Thank you for your time and consideration!!!

When i had to evaluate the form field in the past , i used
(document.form_name.Field_name.checked == true) in the javascript function for a checkbox for example. For a radio button: document.form_name.Field_name.value
