Can I change the <cfinput> attributes with JS?

Say I have a required field, and if I select a radio button I want to changes this field from required=yes to required=no.

Can I o that?

Because I have this JS to do that, and it doesn't seem to work.


When I click on submit it still gives me the required field msg.

No.

The reason why, is because when ColdFusion compiles the page, it puts the appropriate JavaScript for the validation in the page.If you were to "view source" in the browser, you would see your input fields have changed to plain <input>, and a lot of JavaScript at the top of the page.

If you want to do advanced validation, I recommend using QForms (extremely simply to use and implement.) or writing your own validation
