How can I show the message if the user types a restricted symbol?
For example, if the user types * in the input field, the error message can show A filename cannot contain any of the following characters: \/:*?"<>|. I hope someone can guide me how to do it. Thanks.

<h1>How to show error message</h1>
<input type="text" class="form-control blank" id="function_code" name="function_code" title="function_code" onpaste="return false">
</body>
</html>
<script>
document.getElementById("function_code").onkeypress = function(e) {
var chr = String.fromCharCode(e.which);
if ("></\":*?|".indexOf(chr) >= 0)
return false;
};
</script>My expected result is like below the picture if the user types the restrict symbol in the input field:
Use the input event along with a regular expression, like so:
const input = document.getElementById("function_code");
const error = document.getElementById('error');
const regex = /[\\\/:*?"<>|]+/;
input.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
const value = e.target.value;
if (regex.test(value)) {
input.value = value.slice(0, value.length - 1);
error.textContent = 'A filename cannot contain any of the following characters: \/:*?"<>|';
} else {
error.textContent = '';
}
});input {
padding: 8px 10px;
border-radius: 5px;
font-size: 1.2rem;
}
#error {
display: block;
color: red;
margin: 5px 0 0 0;
}<input type="text" id="function_code" name="function_code">
<span id="error"></span>
