Question on Digits and Special Characters

Karen · Sep 24, 2003

Hi there,
in my asp form i would like to have a field which can ONLY accept
digits BUT can accept special characters as well such as: &,$$,##.
i.e: if the user enters :

147hhh, or P44556HH or QSSPE$% ---> this will be invalid
##123,45SS---> this is invalid
125&125#10$---> this is valid
12456--> this is valid too

is there any way to do this????

thanks!

Are you looking for something like the following?

<html>
<head>
<title>hasLetter.htm</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" onsubmit="hasLetter(this.item.value)">
<input type="text" name="item" size="10" maxlength="10">
<input type="submit" value="Test"
</form>
</body>
</html>

Or would this be better?

<html>
<head>
<title>test.htm</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" onsubmit="test(this.item.value)">
<input type="text" name="item" size="10" maxlength="10">
<input type="submit" value="Go"
</form>
</body>
</html>

This removes all of the allowable characters and tests to see if the result
is non-blank.
