i am using the following regular expression for the validation of Email address /^.+@([?)[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+.([a-zA-Z]{2,3}|[0-9]{1,3})(]?)$/; but the problem is that if user enters any white space character while entering email address then email is considered as valid how ever we know that an email address can not contain any white space character i have tried a lot but could not get a correct regular expression
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to dynamically resize textareas to always have enough rows to hold the data, so there is never a need for a vertical scroll bar no matter whether the user types in large paragraphs or only puts one character per line. Is there some kind of existing facility for doing this? Perhaps in a library? Or maybe there is a property of the textarea which can be checked in a row-incrementing loop to determine whether a scrollbar is still needed.

I would like to create new option with more than one space as text in a select element, is it possible? I tried this statements:
var selT=document.getElementById('SelectObj');
selT.add(new Option("Space between text","xyz"),selT.options[0]);
and also:
var selT=document.getElementById('SelectObj');
selT.add(new Option("Space between text",
"xyz"),selT.options[0]);
without get any space between words.
I would like to insert a few blank spaces in a text string:
eg.
string = 123456(space)(space)(space)7891011
How do you do this?
I'm currently using the Jquery Flipv plugin, which works well. The only problem is, some words have extra padding at the end, depending on how many characters.
I'm not sure why this is, but it seems that the conversion to vertical text creates some extra spacing on certain browsers.
A UI built using HTML and CSS has limited screen space. One of the elements is a div tag (<div id="mtext">) that will contain text of variable length. If the text is > 500 characters, I am displaying it as a link. When the user clicks the link, I want the text to be displayed in a layer above all the rest of the elements in the page. How can this be done using javascript..
Code:
A div element that contains some text of variable length. If the length exceeds say 500 characters, Display it as truncated text. ( like "Example text...") The entire truncated text becomes a link When the user clicks the link the content in the div element "pops out" to fill the screen above other elements on the page Image showing truncated text... (before clicking) Image showing text display after clicking the text...
I am learning JS and ajax.. successfully writing my own working scripts.. but, being a newbie, still hit the wall alot. Today's wall really has me stumped:
Developing locally, I am calling a page with a working XMLHttpRequest object.. and getting the response, fine. The problem is that the response is coming back with some space chars tacked on. There are like 10-12 space chars prefixed, and one space char suffixed to my response text. Even if I just stick in a single "a" char in the (now static) page that I call, it still returns

So I created a custom rule following numerous examples out on the web for a dynamic text input, but for some reason it seems to be letting spaces through even though my regexp tests out ok to not match when the value is any combination of spaces...
$.validator.addMethod("noSpace", function(value, element){
return this.optional(element) || /^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_ ]{0,70}$/i.test(value);
}, "Please enter a name starting with either a letter or a digit.");
$('#form').validate({
rules: {
[Code]...
The odd thing is, it will work if you type in a space followed by a character, but if you type in one space, or one space followed by x number of spaces, it just lets it through like it's valid. But yet when I look at the demos and examples that I pulled this from, they never let those scenarios go through.

The Farbtastic color picker is an elegant solution to the color-picking problem, but its usefulness is prohibitive in those situations where there is not enough screen real-estate. Because it is large, these are many. Since I want to use it in such a situation, I started working towards a solution.
The designed solution involved in clicking on something small, such as Click to Activate, and having the rest of the page become faded-out, while the color-picker appears superimposed over other parts of the page.
That solution is implemented up to a point. In the code posted:
- The trigger appears as part of the original DOM.,
- Clicking the trigger makes the page text fade, the color-picker appear, and the trigger changes to something like Click to Deactivate,
- Upon clicking, it does disappear, and the page text resumes it original appearance..
After this point, one might work towards making it more modular and more easily usable as is farbtastic itself.
It requires a var to hold state, and other things. Ideally, it could be combined with the original to offer a wider range of usage patterns. I have no doubt that the code can vastly be improved, since I am relatively new to jquery, although not to computing.
The code is posted below, in the hope that it proves useful to others, The only change made to the farbtastic.js code itself is to add "id='fbc' " to the outermost <div which is added internally. This change is not shown because it would involve posting all of farbtastic.js for this one change. The section of text used to illustrate presumed page content is from the NSIS Users Manual, and has no significance beyond being some text. The div named 'overlay' was employed to allow shifting the whole thing around as a unit relative to the trigger but might be eliminated were that not needed, since everything else works without it, Note also that the input#color from the original farbtastic has been replaced by 'repeater' which is a <div, but seems to work ok to get the color info.
how to create a function to validate that the default text hasnt been submitted, Could I somehow put it in with my validateIt function? By using something like document.forms[0].visitor_name.value =="Enter your name"? Or am I way off?

I want to prompt a user to enter their name, if the user entry includes numbers I would like to prompt them to re-enter their name using only text.
I have tried:
var userName = prompt ("Please enter your name", " ");
if (userName == null || !isNaN(userName)) {
prompt ("Please enter a valid name, and do not include any numbers in this field");
userNamm.focus();
} else {
document.write("Welcome back " +userName); }
It isn't working, I would like to monitor the user entry for only text values
I have an input text with value=Lois so I want to validate this input. If some user enter another word different of Lois will give an alert, and if in the field one writes the word Lois (without importing capital letters or minuscule) the form can be executed in correct form.

Using jQuery Validate to do it's job of validating a form. Problem is I need to get at least one phone number recorded in the form - either a Telephone or Mobile (Cell).Is there any inbuilt way of setting up the rules to do this?I have seen the Milk demo for the validate plugin where there's something similar, but the 'name' attribute is the same, something that's not going to be the same for two different text inputs.

I have a text field where a user can enter either a(n):American zip code (example: "02475")Canadian zip code (example: "A3F 4G6")A "city/state abbreviation" combination (example: "Toronto, ON", or "Las Vegas, NV")For the most part, users don't have much of a problem with the first two criteria, but some people have some trouble with the third, either by entering simply a state ("NB", or "Texas"), a city, or spelling out the state name "Chicago, Illinois". I need to put together some validation that makes sure that:
If the entered text is not an american or canadian zip code (IOW, if the entered text contains no numbers at all - in that case, move on to the next validation check)Check to see if the third to last character is non alphanumeric (if they entered the city/state combination correctly, there would be some sort of non-alphanumeric separator between the city and state abbreviation)if the entered text doesn't fit the criteria, return the error.
function hasNumbers(string) {
var regex = /d/g;
return regex.test(string);
}

How can I validate a text field to make sure it contains only digits?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using the jquery form validation plugin [URL] to get some simple validation done on my form. It's working perfect so far. When I set a particular form field to have the class "required" that makes it so that it can't be blank and when the user tries to submit the form, JQuery displays a "This field is required." text beside the field and focuses on it. The text generally appears right beside the input element. I was wondering whether it is possible to actually control where the error text appears? Say like I set an element div element which I want the error to appear. Is there a way to make it the error text appear in that div element?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up a form that has a text field that is required to be blank - I'm dealing with form spam, and the bots are stuffing every text field with random crap. So, I have a text box that is required to be blank. But I can't get jquery.validate to understand both required and blank.the text input is has a name and id of live_check.I have added this method:
$.validator.addMethod("equalToParam", function(value, element, param) {return value == param;});
and then my rules look like this:
rules: {

last_name: "required",[code]...
But validate flags the empty text box as invalid (because it's required?)
I have searched the internet and couldn't find a problem regarding this issue. The thing I want to do is simply validate a text input so when you enter a number in it, it won't validate and give you an error message. This is the code:
