dynamically set required attribute in cfform flash

[Eileen Collins]

I have a cfform flash in an application. I want to be able to set the required="yes" on a form field after a user checks the checkbox above it. SO for example, if the user checks the "I have my keys" box, then the "keydate" form field becomes required.

I've tried it the same way for the enable attribute, but I get error that required attribute is not boolean like the enable attribute.


<cfform action="" method="POST" name="myform" width="850" format="Flash" >

<cfinput type="Checkbox" name="haskeys"  label="I have my keys" visible="Yes" enabled="Yes">

<cfinput type="DateField" name="keydate" width="100" label="Date My keys were Provided" required="" size="20" visible="Yes"  value"">

<cfinput type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</cfform>

Thanks Chris, that article was helpful. I can use it with some tweaking. What I wanted was to set the field required only if the checkbox was checked. I tried the code on the article page and changed the required ="no" and then click 'enable' button, but nothing happened.

I'll just need to create an onsubmit function to determine if checkbox is checked and code to disabe if not checked
