TITLE: Simple SSN validation script
This tip was submitted by Steven Jacobs, an Internet specialist
in Tennessee.
This code strips unwanted dashes and validates filed entry.
CODE:
function checkSSNLength()
{
var q = document.forms[0].SocSecNo.value;
var a = q.charAt(0);
var b = q.charAt(1);
var c = q.charAt(2);
var d = q.charAt(3);
var e = q.charAt(4);
var z = q.charAt(5);
var y = q.charAt(6);
var h = q.charAt(7);
var i = q.charAt(8);
var j = q.charAt(9);
var k = q.charAt(10);
if ((q.length == 11 ) && (d == "-") && (y == "-"))
{
var a = q.charAt(0);
var b = q.charAt(1);
var c = q.charAt(2);
var e = q.charAt(4);
var z = q.charAt(5);
var h = q.charAt(7);
var i = q.charAt(8);
var j = q.charAt(9);
var k = q.charAt(10);
var finalString = a + b + c + e + z + h + i + j + k;
document.forms[0].SocSecNo.value = finalString;
checkSSINumber();
}else
if (q.length == 9)
{
checkSSINumber();
return true;
}else

Security Policyn" +
"overnight, the maximum number of digits for a social security
number is 11 if you include dashes.nnn" +
"For example: 123-45-6789 or 123456789. If you need additional help
