How to limit a form to not submit numeric


Recommended Posts

Hi @Perzival

You will need to use JavaScript to check the input then.  Use a document selector to get the input element and then check its value attribute. Make sure it is the right length. Then match it against a regular expression. (Learn about them here: Regular Expressions) If everything thing is fine, return true. Otherwise, return false

This helps, but I am not fluent in JS, perhaps you can give me an idea on how to integrate regular expression with my form?

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.addEventListener('BeforeFormSubmit', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();

var x = document.getElementById('InsertRecordDOM').value;
     if (typeof x === 'number' || (x%1===0)) {
alert('This form only submit alpha characters!');

} else {

document.forms["caspioform"].submit();

}

});
</script>
