AndyB Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Yes. And it requires javascript.

AndyB Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Note that JAVA is not the same as javascript. Basically, you have two choices to restrict the user's input. #1 - restrict it on the user end, i.e. use javascript. #2 - restrict it on the server end (however you choose). Disadvantage of #1 (that you don't want to is not a disadvantage) is that the user might have disabled js.

DeFActo Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Disadvantage of #1 (that you don't want to is not a disadvantage) is that the user might have disabled js. that is why i try to use js as less as possible. oh well, i will try to figure it out some other way. cheers.
