[DJW:] HTML imposes no constraints, even when used in HTML input elements. It probably doesn't even constrain input to the HTML character set. > Note, i'm using java for verification. [DJW:] HTML is irrelevant to Java form handling code. I think you are asking in the wrong place. This is not a list about designing web sites; it is about the design of the HTML language (not JavaScript, not DOM, not CSS, not Java) itself. The answer to the question is look in RFC 822 and RFC 1123, but note that certain forms will be rejected these days as an anti-spam measure. > [DJW:] -- --------------------------- DISCLAIMER --------------------------------- Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of BTS. >
