Field Content Validation
Ok, I've had several people email me wanting to know how they can validate a field based on a certain criteria. Well, I through this together and hope it will work for you. There are many ways to do this such as Regular Expression, and other functions, but you should be able to implement this rather easily.
function validate_char(field) {
var valid = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
var ok = "yes";
var temp;
for (var i=0; i<field.value.length; i++) {
temp = "" + field.value.substring(i, i+1);
if (valid.indexOf(temp) == "-1") ok = "no";
}
if (ok == "no") {
alert("Invalid entry! Only characters Aa-Zz are accepted!");
field.focus();
field.select();
}
}
Now just simply call this like:
<INPUT type="text" name="txt_name" onBlur="validate_char(this)">
Feel free to change the valid variable to anything you'd like to restrict user input.
Always working hard!!

Mitcho's talk on Ubiquity and/or JetPack
Cambridge, United States
Our February 2010 JavaScript Meetup will be held on Thursday, February 25th at Microsoft Research Center located at One Memorial Drive in Cambridge. When you arrive security will direct you to the correct floor. There is also parking available at a cheap evening rate in the building. Parking is also free on the street in front of the building at 6 PM.At 6:30 PM our fellow member Mitcho (mitcho.com) will share his knowledge of Ubiquity and/or JetPack. I hear he is an awesome presenter.
When I follow these instructions, I get an "Object expected" error. Any clue why?
