You'll probably want to validate based on e.keyCode alone. Also beware that different browsers and different OSs will report different keyCodes for non-letter keys (see http://www.quirksmode.org/js/keys.html for a start) It gets complicated, so you may consider another approach such as an onblur validation or a check every few seconds. - Ken --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
