character string test

[FengShui1998]

Hello,

I have an input form field myname. I need to test of any of these characters are in this field using javascript.

% \ / ' " @ = ) ( < > &

If so, I would like to replace that character in the string at that location.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

How about a regular expression?

var invalidchars="[%\\/'\"@=)(<>&]";
[green]\\Quotes and backslashes need to be escaped with another backslash in the regular expression[/green]
var txt=new RegExp(invalidchars,"g");
[green]\\Define the regular expression variable[/green]
var mystring='This % string @ " contains = seve/ral ( invalid <> chars';

alert(mystring.replace(txt,"*"));
