I've created a function that checks form fields that only will have letters.
This is the script:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javas cript">
function validateString( field, msg, min, max) {
if (!min) { min = 1 }
if (!max) { max = 65535}
if (!field.value || field.value.len gth < min || field.value.max > max) {
alert(msg);
field.focus();
field.select();
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>
How can I add code to this function that checks for whitespace...ex .
"\n\r\t"
I would also like to check for only letters in the fields and make sure no
numbers have been entered. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Using regular expressions would be the easiest method:
/^[a-zA-z]+$/ only allow letters
<script type="text/validate">
function Validate()
{
// set pattern for text only
var textRE=/^[a-zA-z]+$/;
varTextObject1= document.forms['myform'].elements['mytextbox'];
// check contents of textbox 'mytextbox' in form 'myform' against pattern
if(!textRE.test (TextObject1.va lue)
{
alert('text field 1 can only accept text, not numbers or other
characters.');
TextObject1.foc us();
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>
.......
<form name="myform" action="blap.ph p" method="get" onSubmit="retur n
Validate();">
<input type="text" name="mytextbox ">
<input type="submit" value="submit form">
</form>
for numbers only use /^[0-9]+$/
for mixed text and numbers, with spaces /^[0-9a-zA-Z\s]+$/

Hi!
Well, did you know the regular expressions?!
Take a look!
funcion noNumbers( field ) {
if( field.value.mat ch( /\d/ ) {
alert('The string MUST not contain numbers!');
}
}
function removeSpaces( field ) {
field.value.rep lace( /\s/g, '' );
}
Here are some useful regular expressions:
[a-zA-Z] any letter
\d any number; same as [0-9]
\D any NOT number; same as [^0-9]
\w any alphanumeric character; same as [a-zA-Z-0-9_]
\W any NON-alphanumeric character; same as [^a-zA-Z0-9_]
\s any whitespace (tab, space, newline, etc...)
\S any NON-whitespace
\n newline
\t tab

Hi Eduardo,
Thanks for the replying to my post. I appreciate the help. I was
looking over the regular expressions as you suggested and got the check for
whitespace and numbers to work, but I am having difficulty validating
against irregular characters, i.e., !#$%^&*()+=?).
I'm using the function listed below to validate the form fields. So, if I
wanted to validate against irregular characters, what regular expression
could I use to check for the following irregular characters: !#$%^&*()+=?).
Thanks again for your help! I'm pretty new with Javascript, so I really
appreciate the help on this.
function noNumbers(field ) {
if (field.value.ma tch(/\d/)) {
alert('This field can not contain numbers!');
field.focus();
field.select();
return false;
}
return true;
}

Well, you can modify the function like this:
function noNumbers(field ) {
if( field.value.mat ch( /[!#$%^&*()+=?]/)\ ) ) {
alert('This field can not contain numbers!');
field.focus();
field.select();
return false;
}
return true;
}
The square brackets [] means that the matching returns 1 if at least a
character present between them is found.
You can add also \d if you want to match also numbers.
Bye

I have looked at the faq and queried the archives, but cannot seem to
be able to get this to work. It's the usual factorial recursive
function, but that is not the problem. It hangs after the user enters a
number. However, as I indicate, if one adds something else after the
number, the function proceeds and finishes successfully.
I would appreciate some helpful hints.
thanks in advance.
