In my form I have a password field and a verify password field. In order to have the verify password field check that the contents of the password and verify password fields are the same I have added

validate['confirm:password']

to the class field of the verify password field. This works as expected until containers are added to the mix.

In my case I added a container and defined it as a Tab Area type. Inside, I dropped a few more containers and defined them as Tabs. This all works as expected and produces a nice, neat tabbed form.

Next, I dropped fields into each of my Tab containers and this works fine as well. I then added a password field and a verify password field into one of my Tab containers. At this point everything still worked. Finally, I added the

validate['confirm:password']

to the class field on the verify password field and the tab formatting broke. Tabs are scattered all over the form. Removing the

validate['confirm:password']

from the class field immediately fixes the issue. This can be reproduced using Sliders as the type of container as well.

(As a potential workaround, I would love to just move to CFv5 for this form but I have developed a fairly extensive application with all input forms running modally. All of my CFv4 forms have been configured to automatically close on submit using a bit of Javascript. I have been unable to get CFv5 forms to behave this way and even have an unsolved topic on the forum about that issue which can be seen here http://www.chronoengine.com/forums/posts/f2/t97960/close-modal-window-on-submit.html. I can't have just one form out of dozens that does not behave like the others!)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi John,

I don't remember seeing this reported before. Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look. (If necessary please create a copy form showing the error.)

Hi Bob,

Here are two links.

The first shows the form with

validate['confirm:password']

in the class field of the verify password input. The form appears with the broken tabs (containers).

The second shows the form with

validate['confirmpassword']

in the class field of the verify password input. The form appears as expected (but of course without password validation working). Notice that only the colon has been eliminated - seems the colon is the culprit and is causing parsing problems. Of course eliminating everything from the class field here also solves the problem.

Thanks for looking into this Bob.

Hi John,

The URL gives me a 403 Permission Denied error.

Bob

Sorry Bob, it should work now.

Hi John,

Now it's an Apache Internal Server Error :-(

Bob

My apologies. It is now fixed.

That did the trick! Thank you very much Bob!

FYI - I got the questionable snippet for the password verification from this FAQ. Probably a good idea to change it to save others from the same trouble.

Thanks again!

Hi John,

FAQ updated - thanks for the nudge.
