CFForm validation and onclick before submit

Vote count:

I have been trying to validate a few fields before submitting a form. Once the fields are validated by CF I want to pop up a sign in form if the user is not signed in. However, I am having problem doing that. The code below will pop up for sign in without validation.

inquiry.cfm

<cfif not isdefined("form.p1")>
    <cfform name="inquire" action="inquiry.cfm" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="p1" value="1">
    <cfinput type="text" name="email" size="50" maxlength="50" required="yes" autofocus="on" validate="email">
    <cfinput type="text" name="subject" size="50" maxlength="50" required="yes" validate="noblanks">
    <cftextarea name="message" cols="45" rows="8" wrap="soft" required="yes" validate="noblanks"></cftextarea>
    <cfif signedin>
        <input type="submit" value=" Send "> 
    <cfelse>
        <input type="submit" value=" Send " onclick="signin(); return false">
    </cfif>
<cfelse>
    do stuff....
</cfif>

The signin function will pop up a sign in form for the user to sign in.

What I have tried:

1. onSubmit instead of onClick. But I don't want to submit the form until the user is signed in.


2. putting the onClick in the CFFORM tag but CF validation and sign in screen will pop up at the same time. After dismiss the CF fields validation screen but only complete the sign in screen will submit the blank form i.e. no validation.


3. using CFINPUT tag instead of INPUT. Made no difference but also messed up the button text.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
