I am wondering if anyone out there can tell me how/where I might find a JavaScript that searches a text input field in an HTML form for Quotes.

I do not want users to be allowed to type a quotation mark in to the field, however, they CAN type the html command for a quote
(the & followed by quot

.

I tried to do the following inside a function and it didn't like the 3 quotes.

if (passedVal.charAt(i) == """) {
alert("You cannot use quotation marks in this field")
return false
}

Any suggestions on how to tweak this code to stop people from using the quotation marks and use the HTML command for a quote mark instead?

Peace,

O
B unce!

i think you can escape a quote using a \ or you can search in single quotes
= "\""
or
= '"'
