Eliminate dashes in text box

[ptuck]

I have a field the user is inputting their phone number in and I do not want any dashes. How can I remove dashes if they exist or prompt user to reenter without dashes?

Thanks,
Paul

Replace() them

Repalce()

I am using javascript to validate their are no blanks on the form. Where would I place the Replace() code at and is the following the correct format?

Replace(strPhone, "-", " ") I got an error message when I tried this way (not allowed to use parenthesis when calling a sub), so I tried Replace strPhone, "-", " ". I put this code on my Save.asp page, but I noticed that I only passed -1234 instead of the entire number to this form. Let me know how I am screwing this up.

Sorry..I am passing the entire number..

the language of choice was, umm...yeah a bit important of a detail!

value.repalce("-","");

please be a bit more detailed in the future to prevent us telling you the wrong information

The replace will work fine, though I usually try to avoid the problem all together by creating a separate input for each section of the phone number.

input areaCode
input firstThree
input lastThree

phoneNum = areaCode + firstThree + lastThree

input areaCode
input firstThree
input lastFour

phoneNum = areaCode + firstThree + lastFour

Javascript doesn't replace like asp, if you run a replace on a string it will only replace the first occurence. This is an example using regex to replace all occurences and change the value of the text box before submitting the page

<script language=javascript>
function checkfordashes(){
rExp = /-/gi;
myString=document.myform.phone.value
document.myform.phone.value = myString.replace(rExp, "")
}
</script>

<form name=myform onSubmit="checkfordashes()">
<input type=text name=phone>
<input type=submit>
</form>
