Hi all. I am very new to web development and am trying to create my first website which contains a questionnaire.
What i want to do is create a input field in a form which prompts for a six 6 character password. I want the password to have the first character in the set [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9], the next character to be an uppercase alphabetic, the next three characters to be alphanumeric and the final character to be an uppercase character.
I have read through a heap of posts and javascript/HTML books to find the answer but dont really know what would help me.
Thanx heaps guys.

do you want it auto generated or do you want to validate the users input?

for auto gen:

create the password
set do***ent.formname.fieldname.value = password

for validate

add onsubmit="return validate()" attribute to your form
add javascript function
function validate {
check value here using do***ent.formname.fieldname.value
return true if valid
return false if invalid
}

hi thanx for that csamuels but is there a way using regular expression to do it??

Sounds like you are wanting to validate user input. Why do you have to use Regular expressions?

Are you validating against a database? ie validating user login?
