Cflocation wins that round. You might to do the alert(''); window.location combo using javascript. that's what I do

You need to put an end if after the cfabort. Your pop up should work after that.

It doesn't make sense to use both in the same block. As jsmall26 said cflocation always wins because it runs first - on the server. The browser never even sees the javascript.

The javascript belongs on the form page. It should execute before the form is submitted. Save the cflocation for the action page - as b/u validation.
