Post Code

[Charence Wong]

Hi all!

I am having trouble making a Post Code field. I have
currently set postcode input mask to >LL00 0LL however
this causes a problem

Only postcodes like DN21 8HE can be entered, not S80 3HL!

Is there any way of making input accept either?


Thank you,


Charence Wong

Because of the complexities of the UK postcoding system, you cannot use an
Input Mask. Instead, you will need to use code to validate the postcode in the
form. An example of the code can be found at (watch for wrapping):

It is L00 0LL (no space L=capital letters 0=numbers)
