Hi all, I have just created a simple function to remove characters that
may cause the cfmail tag to crash...

<cfcomponent>
  <cffunction name="strip_email" output="false" access="public"
returntype="string">
    <cfargument name="email" type="string" required="true">
        
    <!--- remove void characters from email address --->
        <cfset new_email = ReplaceNoCase(arguments.email, ",", ".",
"ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = ReplaceNoCase(new_email, " ", "", "ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = REReplaceNoCase(new_email, "(<)|(>)", "",
"ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = REReplaceNoCase(new_email, "!", "", "ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = REReplaceNoCase(new_email, "\?", "", "ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = REReplaceNoCase(new_email, "\^", "", "ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = REReplaceNoCase(new_email, "\$", "", "ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = REReplaceNoCase(new_email, "%", "", "ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = REReplaceNoCase(new_email, "&", "", "ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = REReplaceNoCase(new_email, "\*", "", "ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = REReplaceNoCase(new_email, "(\[)|(\])", "",
"ALL")>
        <cfset new_email = REReplaceNoCase(new_email, "(\{)|(\})", "",
"ALL")>
        
        <cfreturn new_email/>
        
  </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Can anyone think of some obvious items I am missing with this?

I also use the following javascript when the form is submitted...

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function validateForm(passForm) {
        if (passForm.email.value == "") {
                alert ("Please enter a valid email address.");
                passForm.email.focus();
                return false;
        }
        
        if (passForm.email.value.indexOf('@',0) == -1 ||
                passForm.email.value.indexOf('@',0) == 0 ||
                passForm.email.value.indexOf('.',0) == -1) {
                        alert ("Please make sure your email address has
been entered in the correct format.");
                        passForm.email.select();
                        passForm.email.focus();
                        return false;
        }
        
        return true;
}
</script>
