Password Validating
I need to validate a password field, to ensure that it contains at least 8 characters and at least 1 non-alphabet character. Does anybody have something handy that will help me with this? Should I use CF/RegEx or Javascript?

RE: Password Validating
probably want to do both CF and Javascript. do the validation in two steps, first checking for minimum length, and then checking for at least one non-alphabetic character. Here's CF and JS code: cfif len(form.password) LT 8 !--- too short --- /cfif cfif REfind([^a-zA-Z], form.password) EQ 0 !--- only letters --- /cfif script if (form.password.value.length 8) // to short if (! /[^a-zA-Z]/.test(form.password.value)) // only letters /script --- Barney Boisvert, Senior Development Engineer AudienceCentral [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice : 360.756.8080 x12 fax : 360.647.5351 www.audiencecentral.com -Original Message- From: Jillian Carroll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 1:37 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Password Validating I need to validate a password field, to ensure that it contains at least 8 characters and at least 1 non-alphabet character.

RE: Password Validating
Sorry about that - you need a caret for at least one NON alpha - cfif (REFind([^[:alpha:]],myString)) AND (len(myString) GTE 8) Adam. -Original Message- From: Cantrell, Adam Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 3:48 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Password Validating cfif (REFind([[:alpha:]],myString)) AND (len(myString) GTE 8) Adam. -Original Message- From: Jillian Carroll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 3:37 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Password Validating I need to validate a password field, to ensure that it contains at least 8 characters and at least 1 non-alphabet character.
