TextArea processing

[Don Martino]

New to javascript
I have a TextArea box defined. I want user to enter multiple entries delemited by ;. e.g. 1111;22333;112;55666666;

I want to retrieve each set of numbers. Would I use an array and check each byte? What would be best method?

Where? On the client? On the server? If the latter, with what?

This will be processed client side. I want to process each set of numbers up to the semi-colon. I want to make sure that they are numeric and a maximum of 8 characters.

regular expression should be all you need.

Have you checked the methods of the String object to see if there's anything there that might help you?
