Could you show us the code?
Here is some pseudo-code.
I took the iframe out of the equation, and am putting the form directly in index.cfm:
index.cfm:
<cfset variables.mQuestion = "What is two times two?" />
<cfset session.mAnswer = 4 />
...
<form name="subPro" id="subPro" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" class="dbw">
...
<cfoutput>
In an effort to cut down on bots, please answer the following question using numbers only:
<br />#variables.mQuestion#:
<input name="userInput" id="userInput" maxlength="2" class="userInput" value="" />
<input type="button" name="submitBtn" id="submitBtn" value=" Submit " onclick="return validateData(this.form.id);" />
</cfoutput>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validateData(formObjId){
var formObj = document.forms[formObjId], postURL = "components/dbw.cfc?method=contactus";
... // I am doing _some_ client-side validation, here; there is more on server-side.
postData = $('#' + formObjId).serializeArray();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: postURL,
data: postData
}).done(function(data){
$('#dispResp').html(data);
});
}
</script>
dbw.cfc:
<cffunction access="remote" name="contactus" output="yes" returntype="any">
<cfscript>
returnResult = "";
// server-side form validation, here
if(val(session.mAnswer) neq val(form.userInput)){
returnResult &= "Math answer does not match.<br />";
}
if(len(trim(returnResult))){
returnResult = "Please correct the following:<br />" & returnResult;
}
</cfscript>
<cfswitch expression="#len(trim(returnResult))#">
<cfcase value="0">
<!---
Display message that all worked out great, thank user.
--->
</cfcase>
<cfdefaultcase>
#returnResult#
</cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>
</cffunction>
V/r,
^_^
