JHawkins Posts: 9 From: Topeka Kansas USA Status: offline	Require "@" in a form field - 3/15/2001 14:00:00 Is it possible to require the "@" symbol in a form field? I have an online registration set up and am amazed at what some are submitting as an email address.

I JUST found this script today. This may be the ticket:

In Form Field Properties, Choose to Validate.
From this dialog box you can choose "other" and type in the @ symbol.

This will require the @ symbol be within the text they type into the text area. This does not mean you will automatically start collecting valid email addresses, it just means whatever they put in there will have the @.

WEbsites that require an email address to enter is my favorite place for this: "notonyourlive@noemail.com"

You will need to Validate that form field.

Choose Text in the Data Type field. You will want to check Letters, Digits, and Other. In the Others box, enter the other characters, separated by commas, that are possible in e-mail addresses...@, -, _, ., etc.

Then above that, in the Display name field, type in E-mail address.

I was able to add it my site with the proper code tweeking. [This message has been edited by KevinB (edited 03-16-2001).] (in reply to JHawkins)
