This blog entry contains some helpful information about removing special characters from a string using javascript. I was able to modify it to be just a few of code in an onchange event. Just rename new_name to the attribute your correcting.

if (crmForm.all.new_name.DataValue && crmForm.all.new_name.DataValue.length >0)
{
crmForm.all.new_name.DataValue = crmForm.all.new_name.DataValue.replace(/[^a-zA-Z 0-9]+/g,'');
}

Sometimes you need to be able to have preset values, and have the duration auto-update. In this example, I will make the actual durations auto-update when one of the fields is changed. If the duration is changed, then the end date will be changed.

Do you want a drop down box for the state, but you don’t want to break core CRM functionality? This little onload script will show the states for the United States and Canada (You can always modify it to have more options). This will help restrict what people put in the state field by providing them a drop down box. It will also allow them to view the old text box and enter any custom information just by clicking on ‘* ENTER A CUSTOM PROVINCE *’.
