Input validation with JavaScript
613
Exact and partial matches
Entered data is normally valid if any of it matches the regular expression pattern. Often you might
ensure that the entire entry matches the pattern. If so, you must “anchor” it to the beginning and
end of the field as follows:
•
If a caret (^) is at the beginning of a pattern, the field must begin with a string that matches the
pattern.
•
If a dollar sign ($) is at the end of pattern, the field must end with a string that matches the
pattern.
•
If the expression starts with a caret and ends with a dollar sign, the field must exactly match the
pattern.
Expression examples
The following examples show some regular expressions and describe what they match:

Input validation with JavaScript
In addition to native ColdFusion input validation using the
validate
attribute of the
cfinput
and
cftextinput
tags, the following tags support the
onvalidate
attribute, which lets you
specify a JavaScript function to handle your
cfform
input validation:
•
cfgrid
•
cfinput
•
cfslider
•
cftextinput
•
cftree
