Can anyone give me some pointers on validating the input in a text field, and forcing the user to re-enter the information if the data isn't a number. I want to ensure that they only enter numbers in a field so that I don't get a type error as my field in the table is of type numeric.

If there are any extensions that are available that would help me do this without writing any code then great!

Many thanks

I do not know what programming language you are using to validate your form?

But a useful extension is the Nextensio. Here is the link to a demo:

If you would like to use JavaScript, look at this website: www.javascriptkit.com

Hope that this is useful to you.

I know MX has a behaviour for form validation that would suit you perfectly (choose if a text box input is required, char, or numeric etc)

I'm can't remember if UD does, but have a look anyway. You would run the function from your submit 'onClick' event...then check your behaviour list to see if there is a 'validate form' option.

If not then go to www.macromedia.com/desdev/ &gt; Then select <b>DW UltraDev</b> from the <b>Exchange</b> drop-down and search for <b>'Check Form'</b> you should get a good extension from <b>Jaro von Flocken</b>...

Hope it helps!

Check the Yaromat extension check form. www.yaromat.com/dw/

When you have downloaded it, you can find it in dreamweaver mx under Behaviors-yaromat-check form.

Good luck.

Thanks very much indeed. I've downloaded the extension from Jaro von Flocken and it suits my needs perfectly.

One day, I'm going to have to learn to write my own code .... <img src=../images/dwzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Can share the link of the extension?

Yes, it is www.yaromat.com/dw/
