Note, ajax debugging has to be enabled in the CF Admin too. > `<cfset actualVolts = url.socketVoltage>` A couple observations - you're only validating the 1st parameter, not all of them.… Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by teedoff Well I only added the first to test. When I added the first, it seems a syntax error is present because the color of all following code changed, which usually indicates a missing quote or comma or something. I'll check the ajaz debug info this evening when I get home. Thanks for the help. Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by arrgh Oh well you are missing a closing single quote. I thought it was just a pasting error. `<cfset lampVolts = REReplaceNoCase(url.lampVoltage, '[^a-z0-9]', '(missing here), 'all')>` But you should use the debugger too. That's where all the juicy error messages are when using ajax features ;-) Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by teedoff Ok that missing single quote fixes that problem. Maybe I should have explained my desired results better lol. What I'm wanting to do is strip anything BUT numbers from the input fields. Then if a user types in 120v, or 120volts, all characters except the numbers are stripped out before processing. Hope that makes better sense. Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by arrgh Yeah, that's what I figured. But you'll still need additional validation to handle common math errors (divide by zero, value is completely non-numeric, etc..) Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by teedoff This seems to work fine: > <cfset lampVolts = REReplaceNoCase (url.lampVoltage, '[^0-9]', '', 'all')> > <cfset actualVolts = REReplaceNoCase (url.socketVoltage, '[^0-9]', '', 'all')> > <!--- Set Constants For Calculations ---> > <cfset lumens = 27500> > <cfset life = 500> >… Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by arrgh > Not sure what you mean about divide by zero values. You're using the variables in a division operation. Dividing by zero throws an error. If the final value is 0 the code will blow up. Likewise, if the result of your regex is an empty string, like if the user entered nothing or all letters. Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by teedoff lol Never thought someone might enter a 0 as a value. hmm ok need to do something different then. Thanks! Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by teedoff Well I'm trying to find some help on this, but everything I find discusses SQL division by zero errors. Not sure that's what I need since this is just a user input variable. Know any good links for this? Thanks. Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by arrgh Handling is basically the same in any language. Use an if/else to do the division when the value isn't 0. Otherwise, do something else like return 0. Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by simplico Ever thought to use <cfinput validate="numeric" ...>? Re: User form input sanitization Programming Web Development by arrgh That would certainly improve the UX. But like always, you've still got to back it up with server side validation.
