Validation: letters only

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 14.2004

Sorry bit of a beginner here, how do i do a simple validation so only letters (no numbers or symbols can be entered) into a “Whats your name? form” will be inputted to a form. ive done everything else but can’t get the validation right.

I only need the code form the if statement.

Also i want the name from the form to appear in another page, is this possible if so how?

Thanks

{
// code

Thanks for replying.


if (nName = "text")

{ window.location.href ="interaction.htm"

}

else

{ alert("Please enter a valid name");

}

@fredmvJan 15.2004 — I believe this is what you want:if (!/d/g.test(nName)) location = 'interaction.htm';

else
{
alert('Name cannot contain numbers.');
return false;
}
