CFFORM - form validation not working AT ALL when testing on production server

So I've done all my testing on my local Coldfusion testing server. All cfform input boxes are validated properly, with a dialogue box popping up when one hasn't been completed

When I upload to the production server, also running ColdFusion 8, there's no cfform validation happening at all - no dialogue boxes, etc...

I'm using the same client computer to test locally as I am to test on the web, yet I get two different results! Any ideas ?

THE VERY FIRST THING to check in this situation is that you can properly connect to the /cfide/scripts/ folder through the web site on the production server.  This scripts folder is where ColdFusion keeps all its javascript, CSS and other client files used in it <cform...> and other client user interface features.  If your browser can not access these files, these features will not work.

The fast tests is just to put /cfide/scripts/wddx.js into your browser on the production server and see if you get the right javascript file.  If not, you need to make sure there is a CFIDE virtural directory configured in your web site and that this directory is readable by internet users.

turns out our Internet Hosts had a configuration problem , like you described Ian. I sent them a copy of your response and they checked their settings and found the error in their Coldfusion config.

Many thanks. All sorted.
