1. it a little less understandable, and performance might also be a little
worse affected due to the "replace" of strings ?
------U R right.
2. Moreover, the function "escape" seems incompatible
with different browsers.
------ I think it works for IE and netscape not sure about others?
> 3, How will it behave if "%" is included in the input string?
------ I am sorry actual code was like this
theESCString=escape(document.form1.text1.value);
theESCString=theESCString.replace(/%u\w{4}/g,"**");
theESCString=theESCString.replace(/%\w{2}/g,"*");
> 4, In a word, your posted problem is not so simple
> as is originally imagined, isn't it?
------- Which all case will ie fail? Is it OK if I use the method proposed
by U? i.e. checking for ASCII value (>127)?
Actually my intention was to give a client side error message when user
tries to enter more than specified length in an HTML field. The fields take
japanese & english literals.
Thanks for helping in understanding the complexity of the problem.
