Gary:   Here is a great client side JS library (called qForms). I have been using it for years. Lots of capabilities and very easy to implement:   http://www.pengoworks.com/index.cfm?action="">   Good luck, -JSLucido From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alford, Gary L Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 12:07 PM To: 'list@dfwcfug.org' Subject: RE: Form Field Validation...

Gary,   Are you looking at client side or server side?  Server side I would use something like the following regular _expression_ CF code:   <cfset testResult = reFind("[a-zA-Z0-9]*", inputVar, 1, "true")> <cfif testStruct.len[1] neq len(inputVar)>     <!--- other characters than letters and numbers are in the string ---> </cfif>   Client side use _javascript_ and a similar regular _expression_ check.   Now if someone knows how to use a negation operation in a regular _expression_ it gets a lot easier...   Tom From: Alford, Gary L [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 7:55 AM To: DFW ColdFusion Users Group (E-mail) Subject: Form Field Validation... How would I perform a simple validation to ensure that a form field entry contains only numbers and/or letters (no special characters or spaces)? Gary L.
