Form Validation
Is it possible to force users to enter only numeric or only alpha values in a text field?
Also is it possible to force users to enter data in a specific format i.e. AAA-999
A means alpha and 9 means numeric values
Thanks!

Hi,
The answer is yes. For an example, see the Masking scripts at my site (phone, social security, etc)

Thanks for the tip, but I need a script which checks that user is entring three letters and then three dash(-) and then three numbers i.e. ABF-963

You could always try using 2 separate form fields - one form the alpha and the other for the numeric. It is very easy to check form data validation with JavaScript. If you need more help I can post more.
