Here you can find a script that removes disallowed characters from the checkout inputs.
NOTE: This script can be added only by an EvoX staff member!
At the beginning of the script, you will find variables that define the regex rules for each input field. By default, these variables are set to an empty string (""), which means no characters are removed. When a variable is set to a regex pattern, the script will automatically strip any characters that match that pattern from the corresponding input field as the user types or pastes.
Variables:
rx_user_name: The name input in the Contact Details area
rx_user_phone: The phone input in the Contact Details area
rx_address_name: The address name input in the Delivery Details area
rx_address_line_one: The address line 1 input in the Delivery Details area for Delivery addresses
rx_address_line_two: The address line 2 input in the Delivery Details area for Delivery addresses
rx_address_line_three: The address line 3 input in the Delivery Details area for Delivery addresses
rx_address_county: The address County / State input in the Delivery Details area for both Billing and Delivery addresses (when they are not a dropdown field)
rx_address_postcode: The address Postcode / Zip input in the Delivery Details area for both Billing and Delivery addresses
rx_address_delivery_note: The delivery note textarea in the Delivery Details area
rx_order_note: The order note textarea in the Review & Pay area
rx_po_number: The PO number input in the Review & Pay area
rx_alternative_po_number: The Alternative PO number input in the Review & Pay area
rx_billing_address_line_one: The address line 1 input in the Delivery Details area for Billing addresses.
rx_billing_address_line_two: The address line 2 input in the Delivery Details area for Billing addresses.
rx_billing_address_line_three: The address line 3 input in the Delivery Details area for Billing addresses.
rx_billing_address_county: The address County / State input in the Delivery Details area for Billing addresses (when they are not a dropdown field).
rx_billing_address_postcode: The address Postcode / Zip input in the Delivery Details area for Billing addresses.

var rx_po_number = /[\t\r\n]/g;
