Question

CFFORM Multiple Error Alerts Vs Single

Locally, my form's submit button produces an alert box listing all the required fields and the custom messages in one pop-up alert box (provided validation rule broken). I'm using CFFORM and have server v. 7. However, remotely those error messages appear one at a time and in a seemingly random order. What controls that behavior - listing all at once versus one at a time?

--Thx. for looking

    Your description appears to be the opposite of my observations. I remember separate alerts in earlier versions and now see single alerts with version 7

    A work associate of mine has the opposite problem with a different little twist. In the development environment (CFMX 6) for a three-field form, where all are required fields and are left blank, only a single error at a time is alerted after each click of Submit. On the live server (CFMX 7), a single click of Submit causes three separate alert boxes to show consecutively, each needing to be dismissed as it pops up. For a three-field form this isn't so bad, but what if it were a 20 field form?

    Can anyone tell me (us) if this behavior is a cfform bug, a customizable "feature", or something else? I've checked various documentation and this behavior is not mentioned anywhere. This is a good indication of why I've refused to use cfform for the last 8 years.
