required and message attribute

I included required and message validate attributes. However, it doesn't show any message when I tried to put some error and not put data.
<cfinput type="text" name="userPassword" maxlength="6" required="yes" validate="integer" message="you must enter password and only 6 numbers are allowed">

Does anyone know why?
Thank

Hmm...not sure what you are doing wrong. When I run this code, it works:

<cfform action="temp2.cfm" method="POST">
<cfinput type="Text" name="userPassword" message="you must enter password and only 6 numbers are allowed" validate="integer" required="Yes" maxlength="6">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</cfform>

I don't know why it did not work. I tried to put text in the field instead of integer as I put in validate attribute. However, it did not open a little window with the error message. It only showed me a grey page of error message like the one you will see when you worked with coldfusion.
In addition, I left the field blank. It did not showed a window with error message but the grey page of error message as the above. Do you know why?

This might seem like a stupid question, but are you using <cfform> rather than <form>?

Yes, that is why I don't know why it doesn't works. I used cfform. DO you have any suggestion. Can I use pop up message? if I can, how can I tell it to validate what user has entered

I got it

Create the directories /CFIDE/scripts/ under the root of your site. Copy the cfform.js script file from the directory of your ColdFusion server to the /CFIDE/scripts/ Dir of your site.


Or

In cfform Specify the path to cfform.js using the scriptSrc attibute.

Example <cfform Action="Whatever.cfm" scriptSrc="/CFIDE/scripts/cfform.js">
