Palindrome Tester

What is a palindrome? A palindrome is a word or phrase which reads the same forward or backward. Here are some examples: "radar", "Abba", "Madam, I'm Adam"

This little JavaScript application let's you type in a phrase and then analyzes it to see if it is a palindrome. Spaces and some punctuation marks are ignored, as are differences in case. Therefore, "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" is a valid palindrome.

Just type a phrase in the 'Input' area, then click on the 'Test for Palindrome' button. The verdict will be displayed below the button.

Tested with Netscape (4 and 6), Mozilla and Internet Explorer (4 and 5), on MacOS, Linux and Windows. See further down the page for versions that may work with other browsers.

• "Pa made Ed a map"

• the trivial cases of a blank, a single character, or a string of identical characters
