Prevent the space bar from being used in the username on join page

Hey guys,

 

Does anyone know how to prevent the space bar from being used in the username field on the join page?  I noticed that Twitter prevents the spacebar from even being used in the username field.  So, being that the Dolphin system doesn't allow spaces, I would like to be proactive and have that same functionality.

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

Hmmmm.... I wonder if you could find and example of this on the Twitter join form.  I'd give it a shot.

since the 'space' itself is not allowed in the username and that is controlled via Regex after your form data has is pushed for verification which is usually via javascript.

Twitter uses a jquery live form validation to do this.

There is a mod by the late Mr. Powless that does this, and more.  It's 10 bucks.

It says it's for 7.0.3, but I would assume it still works for 7.0.5

This one looks a little better because it does a live check to see if a user name is already in use.

Thanks for the suggestion, houstonlively.  This looks like what I'm looking for.  I've tested both suggestions that you've made and they both appear to have some issues.  However, I have a feeling that this particular module may be easier to customize for my needs.  Thanks again for the help.

 

In the meantime, if someone else can still figure out how to prevent a space bar from being entered, I would really appreciate it.  I've seen some JavaScript that basically replaces whitespace with a backspace, but I haven't the slightest clue how to implement it with the Dolphin system.
