Scrubbing user inputs

Hello all,

 

I’ve built a simple html form using the pl/sql web toolkit that has a place for the user to include comments.

It’s been in production for months if not years.

 

Recently, we’ve experienced errors related to the content of the comments
and I’ve traced it to users cutting and pasting content from MS Word directly into the web form comments field.

Even that is fine except for when the user attempts to paste in bullets.

 

I’ll have to handle this on the client-side. Any ideas?

 

 

Regards,

 

Monty
