Additional validation needed for Front Page Form Fields

[sharkatek]

I am using a simple Front Page form and am able to capture the IP address by checking the Remote Name box on the saved fields dialog box, but is there any way to validate with additional javascript code to keep a specific IP address from accessing the page?

I am not using a database or ASP, just a simple Front Page form and I have a rogue person accessing the page and the only identifiable info I get is the IP address.
Unfortunately, the IP address is not one of the FORM FIELDS that has a name, so I cannot use the Front Page validation utility.

I would like to redirect them to a specific page of my site that tells them they are blocked. I need to use the Front Page form, so please include information about where to place the script.

Also if there is no way to do this, is there any way to use javascript to further validate normal Front Page form fields? The built-in validation only gives me TWO blanks to say equal to or not equal to.

Thank-you in advance! Sharkatek

Try something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">

	// List all the IPs you wish to ban, seperate each with a comma.
	var bannedIPs = ["123.123.123.123", "456.456.456.456"]

	var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->'

	var sortEmOut = bannedIPs.join("|")
	sortEmOut = new RegExp(sortEmOut, "i")

	if (ip.search(sortEmOut)! = -1){ 
	alert("You have been blocked from this site, you are being redirected...")
	window.location.replace("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yahoo.com")[/URL]
	}

</script>

If you can't do it using a server-side solution (as above), then you're gonna be out of luck, I reckon. There is no way to get the IP address using Javascript directly.

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

Thank-you, Mike - I'll try it out. This looks like it will work for the multiple value validation problem if not the IP address.

Thank-you also Jeff.
