Validation

roblen · #1 09-02-2005, 12:13 PM

Hello,
Could some one point me in the right direction.
I need to validate a few input text fields. I have the need to strip out or prevent apostrophes from being entered by users. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

This works, if you need help implementing it, let me know.

Code:

<head>
<script language="javascript">
<!-- Begin
function ignoreChar(string) {
var temp = "";
string = '' + string;
//--------------------------------------------
//--- Change the character within the quotes
//--- to whatever character you want excluded.
splitstring = string.split("'");
//--------------------------------------------
for(i = 0; i < splitstring.length; i++)
temp += splitstring[i];
return temp;
}
//  End -->
</script>
</head>

<body>
<center>


Exclude apostrophes from a text field.</p>
<form>
<input type=text size=25 onKeyup="this.value=ignoreChar(this.value);">


<input type=text size=25 onKeyup="this.value=ignoreChar(this.value);">


<input type=text size=25 onKeyup="this.value=ignoreChar(this.value);">


</form>
</center>
</body>

try this (v4.0.14) - it should remove apostrophes from all four fields.

payment_po.tpl

Code:

splitstring = string.split("'"); 
//-------------------------------------------- 
for(i = 0; i < splitstring.length; i++) 
temp += splitstring[i]; 
return temp; 
} 
// End -->
