FLASH FORM/CFINPUT
Posted on 2007-11-15
I didn't get any responses on this question except an email telling me I didn't get any responses and I must have not worded the question correctly or I put it in the wrong zone...well I read the question over and I don't see how i could have been more explicit on what I was asking and I put it in the confusion zone because that is where I am building. So I'm not sure what else to put here...so here is still my question, please.
Is there a way to validate a field in a flash form within cfinput that states the user MUST have entered exactly 6 characters in the field. The field is alpha numeric so it's not like i can use a range and i have the maxlength attribute attached but that just keeps the end user from entering more than 6 characters but allows them to add less than 6 (but we can't have that). Here is the code I am using for the cfinput field:
<CFINPUT name="strField01"
label="User ID:"
width="200"
align="left"
mask="AA999X"
maxlength="6"
required="yes"
validate="noblanks,maxleng
message="You must enter the users ID and in the proper format XX9999 or XX999X.">

<script language="JavaScript">
