Since I upgraded to CF MX7 auto-validation on my cfinput forms stops working, if I have my custom Javascript onSubmit handler
Example:

<script language="javascript">
function ValidateForm()
{
if (document.form.ESC.value == "")
{
alert('You have not entered an account number')
document.form.ESC.focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>

<cfform action="" method="post" name="form" onSubmit="return ValidateForm()">
<table width="600" border="1">
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<cfinput type="text" name="ESC" validate="float"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</cfform>
Please advise
Thanks

Drop the javascript and just add a REQUIRED="YES" to your input tag

dswens's suggestion will prevent the form submit, but it won't return the error message.

kill the javascript, then add:

required="yes" message="You have not entered an account number" to your cfinput tag.

That will both prevent the form input, and create the alert.
