RE: [KCFusion] validate

[Templin, Luke]

They do in the form of regular expressions. Here's the example for email addresses Validating an E-Mail Address Want to add an e-mail validation? You can do that, too. It's as easy as specifying that the validation will be using regular expressions (using VALIDATE="regular_expression") and then offering the _expression_ in a new PATTERN attribute. Here's an example that will validate e-mail addresses: <CFFORM ACTION=""> Email: <CFINPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="email" VALIDATE="regular_expression" PATTERN=" ^([_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)[EMAIL PROTECTED](\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\. (([a-z]{2,3})|(aero|coop|info|museum|name)))?$" MESSAGE="Email is improperly formatted"> <INPUT TYPE="Submit"> </CFFORM> That regular _expression_ in the PATTERN attribute may seem quite daunting. For now, just accept that regular expressions that do something useful may exist - and the cool thing is you can copy them from others to get the benefit.
