The strange thing is that if I query the mysql database it actually recognizes the mac address entry with hyphens - so it is recording that node but it just doesn't work.

Let me know. Client-side web browser validation is apparently what you're looking for. I'll add a second question and ask if a feature request would be welcome to convert the standard MAC address formats on the back end, rather than torture the users with using the correct format (or *gasp!* individual MAC byte fields that you can't cut/paste to) on the web form? I've lost count how many times I've had to convert MAC addresses from Microsoft's cut/paste hyphens to colons when using PF's search boxes, and it gets annoying after a while... -Arthur ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Emerson III Email: [email protected] Network Administrator InterNIC: AE81 Mount Saint Mary College MaBell: (845) 561-0800 Ext. 3109 330 Powell Ave. Fax: (845) 562-6762 Newburgh, NY 12550 SneakerNet: Aquinas Hall Room 11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
