Limit the charset on forms

Hi guys,

Ihave a situation where I need to restrict the from from accepting Cyrillic (or any other special type of characters) from being saved in.

I have found something that seems to solve this by specifiying an accep-charset on the form. Something like: accept-charset="ISO-8859-1"

I was wondering if this is supported somehow by DW forms without having to manually edit every template.

In some cases (I believe a lot of them) we are using StartForm and EndForm tags and that makes it more complicated to mess with the forms.

Thank you,

Adrian

Hm, cannot figure out what that attribute does reading the docs. Never heard of it :-).

But you can set it using document.getElementById("myForm").acceptCharset = "";

Hi Nicolai,

It was a surprise for me as well.

I have found it here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_accept_charset.asp

I guess I can follow your solution.

Thank you very much.

Adrian
