Modifying the Trip Edit page to use ColdFusion form tags
In this exercise, you use the ColdFusion form tags to move the validation of many business rules
from the server to the client. To do this, you change the HTML form tags in the tripedit.cfm page

unneeded server-side single-field validation code from the tripeditaction.cfm page. Finally, you
