How to prevent semi colon in searchable keywords

[nitin gupta1]

Guys-

I have one field on form and I want to restrict it when anyone put ; on that field ( string field)

I want to show error message and want to clear only ; not entire data that he putted

Can anyone suggest how we can achieve this?

I want this when he is filling that form and field presents on the form

Something like this will work, onChange of whatever this field is (short_description in this example).

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
      return;
   }

	if (newValue.indexOf(';') != -1) {
		alert ('Semi-colon(s) removed');
		g_form.setValue('short_description', newValue.replace(/;/g, '')); //replace all ; with nothing in this field
	}
   
}
