Sure it is, either copy the inputted value into a hidden element, or on submit strip the characters. If that's not considered trivial then I'm even more sure that scripting will not provide an appropriate enhanced behaviour on legacy clients. This isn't even behaviour I've seen asked for on comp.lang.javascript, and a lot of the people asking don't even know how complicated a task is when asking, so I don't believe that authors are not doing it because of a percieved complicatedness. For example I know you could do it easily and safely, I'm confident I could (but have never been asked) and lots of other folk I know creating sites. Cheers, Jim.
