Auto Cleanup of My Field - How To Turn Off

[David]

I have a NetWebForm that has several fields.  One of these fields is intended to store a password.  The passwords can be Alpha, numeric, and special characters.

When tabbing off the field and having entered: ?4nw/#fi4f

everything to the left of the / is cleared.  After playing around, it appears the /# combination is what is triggering the effect.  I checked the Form template and can not find a setting to allow xHTML for a particular field.  The string length is 200 and no validation has been set on the dictionary side.

Does anyone know what I might look for or what to change to fix this?

Hi David,

try changing the field to be a "text" field. that has an xHtml setting. Mind you, I'm not sure that'll solve the problem. I'm investigating further.

Hi David,

ok, you don't need to make it a text field, but what you do need to do is make sure the field is _not_ sent to the server in "real time".

ie turn off auto-validate for the field, make sure it doesn't "reset" any other fields, and has "send new value to server" off.

the problem of "interpreting" the string is in the client-side (javascript) code, not the server side code. But by not sending the value to server, you can bypass the javascript code for now.

Thank you Bruce, turning off auto-validation did the trick.
