Before it is posted, your can use JavaScript to check the input, but
that is no guarantee because the user may have JavaScript disabled. You
should *always* check user input upon the receiving end at the
server-side script. There is where you can make the final and absolute
check of the input. You can either quietly filter out the unwanted
characters or return to then previous form with an error message.
