Hi, All!

Can this be done? I am using this 'boilerplate' script to validate a form. It currently gives a pop up if certain words are used (onblur). I would also like the script to redirect the user to another page if any of those words are used.

Am I being clear?

Here is the code I am using:

<textarea name="Comments" rows="5" cols="70" onBlur = "this.value = checkForProfanity(this.value);">

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>

Thanks For Any Help!

Hey Joe,

To direct people to another location just do:

Code:

window.location.href = 'http://disney.go.com/';

Decided to go further and write the whole thing out:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-NZ">
	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
		<title>Bad Word Transfer</title>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			var profanities = new Array('badword1','badword2','badword3','badword4','badword5');
			function check_profanities(comments)
			{
				var is_profane = false;
				var alert_msg = 'We DO NOT accept that type of language:'+"\n";
				for (i in profanities)
				{
					if(comments.toLowerCase().match(profanities[i]))
					{
						is_profane = true;
						alert_msg += profanities[i]+"\n";
					}
				}
				if(is_profane)
				{
					alert_msg += 'I hope you enjoy Disney, goodbye.';
					alert(alert_msg);
					window.location.href = 'http://disney.go.com/';
					return false;
				}
				return true;
			}
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<form action="" method="post" onsubmit="check_profanities(getElementById('comments').value);">
			<fieldset>
				<legend>Simple Form</legend>
				<ol>
					<li><label for="comments">Comments:</label> <textarea id="comments" name="comments" cols="25" rows="7" onblur="check_profanities(this.value);"></textarea></li>
				</ol>
				<div><input id="submit" name="submit" value="Send" alt="Send" type="submit" /></div>
			</fieldset>
		</form>
	</body>
</html>

Cheers,

MC
