Thread: Auto updatable text box

I have users entering data in a form. When a certain number of fields are populated I wish for a window to appear that displays all the items of information entered (which would indicate one complete record has been added).

Any suggestions as to how this can be accomplished?

You could probably achieve something like that using javascript and one of the form field events like onKeyUp event. When the event is triggered check the number of fields populated. If they equal a complete record, create a cfdiv to display the information Though that won't work if javascript is disabled.

But can I ask why? In other words, why not just indicate the number of fields required and provide a button to click when finished. Then validate the information when the button(s) are clicked.

Just trying to understand the goal and the most user friendly way to achieve it.
