Blocking form submission is a text field contains a url
Is there a way to block submission of a form if a text field contains a url? Or a way to strip out any urls added? It's a pretty simple anti-spam feature that literally tons of websites have, but I can't see how to make Formidable do one or the other.
I seem to recall there was a validator some time ago that looks for urls and strips them, but it seems that the pro version I have currently does not have that ability. There is a reference to shortcodes somewhere in the docs but the images seem to relate to earlier versions and in any case aren't explained.
I'm guessing it's something simple I'm missing....
Anybody have any ideas?

Okay, so despite there being an edit button, (referring to correcting my post above, not my websites) I cannot edit either the post title to get rid of a typo, or the post body.
Looks like the form is broken. As a minimum, I'm pretty sure the field title above (on edit screen) is not meant to be "Give your Discussion a title28"
Don't get why there's an edit screen if edits aren't allowed.

I thought this would be an easy fix, but obviously I was wrong. Never mind, the site I needed this for has had so many problems with this that I've had to remove formidable forms and use a different form builder to solve the problem.
It's a shame, I'd have preferred to use fforms. Never mind; it's one licence less to worry about.
