Form Edit Box or Text Area Expanded Validation / Conditions

[code2]

If someone could point me in the right direction please.

I have a Edit Box and a Text Area I wish to scan for a certain phrase / series of characters and if found create an error flag for edit box / text area or at Form level.

For text, it seems that there is only the "equal to" or "not equal to" option in the object's validation options. Wildcards like * or ? do not seems to work.

Are there any other options ?

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, there is currently no support for wildcards. This will require a custom script.

Thanks

Sorry, just further.

Is it a point of just doing some fairly simple Java Script or is it really something an expert programmer needs to do ?

[Pablo]

If you are familiar with JavaScript then you can probably do this yourself.

Thank you. I guess I better start learning. Never to old to try something new.

FWIW:
I have a simple test form that uses PHP to test for urls using the Custom Form Processing option (page must have .php extension).
Perhaps this could be used as a basis for your requirements.
