CFMX 7 CFFORM Validation doesn't work in 7.0.1

Question

We have code that's been running under CF5 and CF6.1 just
fine, but when we moved it to CF7 all of the cfform validation
stopped working (standard cfform w/ no additional custom
javascript, just cfinput tags w/ required attributes). We updated
the server to the newest version, and even applied the cumulative
hotfix .jar file, but to no avail. Seems to be some consensus out
there that there's a bug in version 7.0.1 where the path to the
cfform.js file (/cfide/scripts/cfform.js) is not being translated
properly so that the browser can find that .js include. I found a
workaround, but I had to create a virtual directory "cfide" (that
points to the actual cfide directory in the webroot) in IIS so that
the mappings would work properly. This isn't terribly secure and is
kind of a silly workaround to have to do when it worked perfectly
under the other versions of CF and the /CFIDE mapping is in place
in the CF Administrator. Anyone else having this issue, and beyond
that, know if macromedia/adobe has (or is working on) a fix for
this?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

That could be also, but in our case, we're not even using
custom JavaScript. We're just using the internal cf form
validation:
Example:
<cfform action="default.cfm" method="post">
<cfinput name="firstname" type="text" required="yes"
message="enter your name">
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">
</cfform>
And, unless we create an IIS virtual directory mapping to the
CFIDE folder, even though it's in the CF Administrator mappings,
the validation doesn't work, even though it did in previous CF
versions.
Thanks for the idea, though.
