Introduction
There's alot of hype about buying appliances for ColdFusion, but you can do
it all with an ISP that supports ColdFusion, Notepad and a good book on it. Like
ASP ends with .asp, Coldfusion pages end with a .cfm. The form is called cform
instead of form, and input texts are called cfinput texts. You can actually get
away though with having the originating form being an htm document, and the resulting
form being a cfm document.
Remember if you don't have ColdFusion, I will host the form for you, in a directory
with a name of your choice, and you can just link up to your form. Before you
test this form, just press the Submit button, and see how the validations work.
ColdFusion actually writes the Javascript from basic html for these validations
the minute it is in a ColdFusion server - pretty tricky, huh? Also, no
problem, I can have this form go into a database (actually a table), so your
results are easily accessible.

Orange County ColdFusion User Group
Santa Ana, United States
Orange County ColdFusion User Group, or OCCFUG, is an official Adobe User Group, and benefits from Adobe-sponsored software bundle giveaways twice a year. The focus of this Special Interest Group is on Adobe ColdFusion, helping beginers and experts alike. Steve Farwell is the Manager of this SIG, and Scott Bennett is the Co-Manager. OCCFUG meets on the third Thursday of every month, and the fee for non-OCMMA members is $10, or $5 for students.
This is a nice little script. Unfortunatly I wont be using it but I will be writing my own based on it.
I will credit you as usual if I take out some code snippets.
