Integrating cfUniForm and ValidateThis

Posted on February 16, 2010 at 7:16 PM in ColdFusion, Uni-Form Tag Library

As noted in the cfUniForm documentation, Bob Silverberg's ValidateThis validation framework plays quite nicely with cfUniForm. However, there is one "gotcha" that I have been meaning to blog about for awhile now, but keep forgetting.

Like cfUniForm, ValidateThis utilizes jQuery's validation plugin to handle client-side form validations. There is, however, one really important key to avoiding JavaScript errors on your cfUniForm + ValidateThis forms:

Make sure you call VT's getValidationScript() method after you close your cfUniForm-powered form. So, your code should look this...

1. </uform:form><!--- close your form FIRST! --->
2. <!--- now call VT's getValidationScript() method --->
3. <cfhtmlhead text="#application.ValidateThis.getValidationScript(myObject)#" />

For additional integration details, be sure to check out Bob's ValidateThis + cfUniForm integration demo.
