Just curious, how does Ronald McDonald supposed to fit in this convention?

So, you can't go e. e. cummings on me, and you can't be JOHN SOMEBODY either. And you can't have your caps lock on and enter jOHN sOMEBODY. That much is pretty easy, but I am finding the more subtle cases pretty hard. So far, I have /\b[a-z][A-Z]+|\b[A-Z]{2,}+|^[a-z ]+$/ to test against (false is good). This works on all the cases I have tested except "cuMmings," which gets by. But I am thinking, maybe enough is enough; you can't control everything. Just wondering if anyone has tackled this before or has any thoughts. btw this is on top of other whitelist-style validation. -- David Mintz http://davidmintz.org/ It ain't over: http://www.healthcare-now.org/
