Question

Hi to all!!!

I have a question here regarding wiki words in html forms. I have a field and the user must supply a wiki word in that field. How do I check if the value supplied by the user is indeed a wiki word? Any javascript for this. If the word is not a wiki word, i could then prompt the user an alert that the value given is invalid. If not a javascript, how could I do that in an embedded html using an onsubmit event? Any ideas is greatly appreciated. Many Thanks!

Look at the source of TWikiRegistration, it uses JavaScript to create a WikiWord out of the user name. You can leverage that for your WikiWord test.

The JavaScript file twiki.js that is distributed with TWiki 4 has a function to check for a wikiword: isWikiWord. See for example the latest WebTopicCreator where this script is being used to provide user feedback.
