Text only validation

[Torrent Girl]

Hello All

I have found TONS of scripts that will require a text field to be numbers only.

I am looking for one that will require a fields to except letters only.

Does anyone know of one?

Thanks
tGirl

You can use regular expressions to do this kind of validation.

Try this to get what you want for your regex

[:digit:] Only the digits 0 to 9
[:alnum:] Any alphanumeric character 0 to 9 OR A to Z or a to z.
[:alpha:] Any alpha character A to Z or a to z.
[:blank:] Space and TAB characters only.
[:xdigit:] .
[:punct:] Punctuation symbols . , " ' ? ! ; :
[:print:] Any printable character.
[:space:] Any space characters.
[:graph:] .
[:upper:] Any alpha character A to Z.
[:lower:] Any alpha character a to z.
[:cntrl:] .

There is a pretty good User Expression - User Gudie at this address

I *love* it when people give me pointers to a solution, instead of doing my
homework for me.
I also *love* using google, instead of bugging other people @
javascript_official.

I found my solution and let me say that this is a great example of how to help newbie in communities such as this one - samples of syntax.
