I am using the built in ColdFusion validation to validate radio buttons. The validation works fine, but I need to return the focus to the radio buttons if it fails validation. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? I use onValidate with other controls, but that doesn't work for radio buttons or check boxes.<br />
<br />
Anytime a field fails validation, ColdFusion returns you to the first field that failed validation in the list. With radio buttons, it doesn't return the focus automatically.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Radio button validation in ColdFusion and returning focus

ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.

ColdFusion Language

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
