cfinput required

[Dileep_NR]

Hi All,

   I have a form using cfinput requred="yes" but the validation is not working in CF9.  So i have submit the form with out filling data in mandatery fileds.

. Also i have noticed the same form working properly in CF8. Is it related with CF9. Please advice

Can you post some code that demonstrates what you're seeing?  Is it one specific form, or is it with any <cfform> you create?  Can you create a very simple <cfform> with appropriate <cfinput>, and do you still see the problem?  Any JavaScript errors?

As a rule of thumb, if you're asking help with code... it's always good to actually post it, otherwise people can only guess as to what you're doing wrong.

I ran that code on CF9 and the requiredness worked exactly as I would expect.

As per previous email: are you getting any JS errors?

Yes, getting error while submitting from

_CF_hasValue is undefined

That's symptomatic of not having a /CFIDE mapping on your web server.
