Character Filtering in a Text Box?

[Tr0]

I'm a newbie to ASP. I was wanting to do some character filtering in a text box and wondering what the best way to do it is?

For example, I have a text box and lets say I want to filter out curly brackets "{" if someone enters that character. If they were to enter this character in the text box a Message Box would appear saying something like invalid character.

Is there a quick and easy way of doing this?

Any suggestions would be a big help!

Thanks.

Looks like you would be better doing this clientside initially if you want to alert the user. Go to forum216 and click on the FAQ tab. You will find several examples under the 'Validation' heading.

If you just want to remove the character serverside from the returned string using ASP, then look at the Replace function.
