Hi,

I am running CF8. I am trying to make a cftextarea required but it is not working, I found a similar post on here but the suggestions there did not work. Here is the code for the cftextarea.

<cftextarea name="html" html="yes" richtext="yes" width="800" height="450" toolbar="Default" required="yes" message="Please enter a message for your request."  ></cftextarea>

I have also tried the validateat=onSubmit and validateat=onServer, but both options did not seem to do anything. Any suggestions on this? TIA.

    Works on cf9.

    <cfform action="abc.cfm" method="post">
    <cftextarea name="html" html="yes" richtext="yes" width="800" height="450" toolbar="Default" required="yes" message="Please enter a message for your request."  ></cftextarea>

    <input type="submit" />
    </cfform>

    Are you having trouble with any other validation, or just this one?

    Do you have any other javascript going on that might sabotage this?
