password validation

[Guest_imported]

Hi I would like to use vbscript to valid user's password when they sign up for a user name. I cannot accept special characters and how do I do that? I tried: IF instr(document.RegForm.passwd.value, &quot;[\/:*?&quot;<>|]&quot > 0 THEN but it does not work. Any suggestion?

You were on the right track, but it thinks your looking for an exact match of : &quot;[\/:*?&quot;<>|]&quot; -- which, chances are, you won't find --

Probably just do a little subroutine that checks for them one by one -- and have it return a value that indicates the result.

good luck!
