Validate information.

[kensington43]

For my MX 6.1 I am trying to validate a string input where information is required. The below is not working because it wont let any info into the field and keeps giving me the "Required Field" pop up message.

<cfinput validate="regular_expression" pattern="(!^\s*$)" name="firstname" required="yes" message="Required Field">

Please advise how I can correct this where I assume my Req Expression is not correct.
Also I assume validation in CFINPUT is considered client side validation??

something like

<cfinput type="text" validate="regular_expression" pattern="(!^\s*$)" name="firstname" required="yes" message="Required Field">
