Username character limit and restrictions

I created a little javascript which only allows numbers and letters in the username field. If they type in something else, or even a space, a popup comes up and tells them they need to redo it and it wipes out the text they put in the field.

I'm no pro. I did an "onkeyup" to trigger the javascript so I had to disable username checking which also works on key up.

I also put maxlength="16" in there to restrict the username to 16 characters.

Attached is a .zip file of my cb.core.php file which has everything working. (components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbcore/cb.core.php)

You can see it in action on the registration page of www.thegolfspace.com or www.themacspace.com

This is a hack for cb 1.1 and NOT any earlier version. When a new version comes out, this would be wiped out by the upgrade so you'd have to put the code in again...

I make no guarantees but it works on my sites.

nice! This is one of the important function that i need!

I replaced the file a my livesite, i have now (16 characters max)

but the javascript do denie empty space does not work

when i go to your sites and test,it works.
how can i solve this??

superb!
attached hack disable spaces and non-english character only in firefox.
On www.thegolfspace.com limitation enable in all brousers - it is cool to see this modification.
