Prevent entry of punctuation

[PW]

Hi,

Is there anyway to format a text input box to prevent any punctuation marks
from being entered?

TIA,
PW

Not with serverside [ASP] code.
Text input boxes only exist clientside.
that is OT on this NG.

However, once the result has arrived on the server,
any string manipulation is possible:

<%
response.write result & "<br>"
%>

<script language='jscript' runat='server'>
result = request.form('mybox').replace(/\W+/g,'')
</script>
