RadInputManager - HTML in Textboxes

[Amar]

Hi

Is there a way of preventing the < > characters being entered in RadTextbox. I tried implementing a new control derived from the RadTextbox but the radtextbox renders a span as the outer control so i could not consume the onkeypress events etc.

Then i looked at the control suite and found that RadInputManager might do the job. But i have been unable to construct a regular expression which will ensure that the brackets <> are not allowed in the textboxes.

Can anyone help please.

Thanks.

Hi Amar,

Please try the below code to disallow the  < > characters being entered in RadTextb

<div>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function RadTextBox1_KeyPress(sender, args)

{

if (alphaNumericCheck(args.KeyCharacter))

{

return true;

}

else

{

sender.RaiseErrorEvent();

return false;

}

}

function alphaNumericCheck(val)

{

var regex=/^<>/;

if(regex.test(val))

{

return true;

}

else

{

return false;

}

}

</script>

<rad:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server">

<ClientEvents OnKeyPress="RadTextBox1_KeyPress" />

</rad:RadTextBox>

</div>

hey thanks for the code, i will see if it can achieve what i want. Right now the code you posted works for single textbox and you have to assign it to the onkeypress event of the textbox. I wanted to do it using the input manger which lets you specify one filter expression and add multiple textboxes to that.

anyways, i think your code will do what i want, as i could simply extend the radtextbox and subscribe to the onkeypress event by default.

Thanks.
