Re: How to check a password is only alpha characters?
Michael, There's a nifty custom tag in the allaire gallery called restricttextinput that will do what you're needing with javascript prior to their even submitting the form. You can indicate alpha, numeric, or alphanumeric, as well as indicating additional allowed characters. -Deanna Deanna Schneider Interactive Media Developer UWEX Cooperative Extension Electronic Publishing Group 103 Extension Bldg 432 N.

Re: How to check a password is only alpha characters?
Much better to do
cfif REFind("^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$", password )

Eliminate anything that isn't alphanumeric, then check to see if it's
the
same thing
---
CFIF REReplace(newpassword1,"[^a-zA-Z0-9]","","ALL") IS newpassword1
!--- ... ---
/CFIF
But, as Perl says, there's more than one way to do it ...

RE: How to check a password is only alpha characters?
You might try writing a Regular Expression for this:-) -Original Message- From: Michael Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 08 August 2000 14:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to check a password is only alpha characters?

RE: How to check a password is only alpha characters?
Yes, that's my problem Scott, I was asleep when they covered that in class. Or not concentrating. Or it was beyond my aging brain to grasp. (Shame on me -so now I'm up the proverbial creek. And the guy with the paddle is in the other boat.) So I guess what I'm asking is, what Regular Expression do I use? Help?

So I guess what I'm asking is, what Regular Expression do I use?
script language=javascript type="text/javascript"
function _check(){
if (document.form.field_name.value.match(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g)){
// invalid character...
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}
/script
form name="form" onsubmit="return _check()"
input type=password name=field_name
input type=submit value="OK"
/form
Try it,...
