Using onValidate in CFGRID

Haitashi

I have the following grid:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

     <cfgrid name="gridChartType"

        delete="true"

        deletebutton="Remove"

        insert="true"

        insertbutton="Add"

        width="714"

        height="500"

        format="flash"

        query="variables.qChartType"

        onValidate="checkValues"

        selectmode="edit">

            <cfgridcolumn name="id" display="false" />

            <cfgridcolumn header="Name" width="500" name="chart" />

            <cfgridcolumn header="Code" width="214" name="code" />

    </cfgrid>

The function called "checkValues" is a function that exist in a JS file. This file is inclided at the beggining of the file but outside the form.

However, it doesn't seem to be working. When I add/edit/delete anything in the cgrid, that function doesn't execute. What I need to validate is that the cfgridcolumn called code doesn't exceed 3 characters.

So, my questions are:

Am I calling the JS function the right way?
Is the way I'm including the JS file correct?
Does anyone have a link to a working example/tutorial of cfgrip that includes validation "how to"?

Maybe my function isn't written correctly in the JS file (but that would be a Javascript issue and not a CF issue)

Thanks in advance!!

My problem was that I was using the flash cfgrid format and onValidate only works with the applet format.

Now I gotta figure out if it's possible to validate data while using the flash format =P

Firstly, check that the JS is correct by changing it to applet. If it works, then you may need to look at an ActionScript solution.
