I have some long html text like this:

I'm trying to make a script which will check if the string which the user sent from a form contains ONLY letters. The problem is if the user entered something like this "25 years old" it allow that to be submitted. It only blocks submissions of the form if the user submits NO letters like this "12345". I want it to block submissions if at least one character isn't a letter. Here's my code:
var message = document.myform.formtest.value;
var allowed = /[A-z+]/;
if(!allowed.test(message)) {
alert("The field only allows letters (a-z).");
return false;
}
I'm kind of confused about how to use regular expressions. I'm trying to have the user input a string or something and i have to validate it. The example im suppose to do has numbers only and must have 9 digits.
Here's what i have:
HTML:
Javascript:
I am trying to match an email string that ends exactly with ".com". Here's what I have
var email = window.prompt("Enter your email", "");
var email_match = /[a-zA-Z1-9-_.]{3,}@[a-zA-Z]{3,}.(com)/
if (email_match.test(email))
[code]....
the (com) also matches commm for some odd reason. What must I change in the code so that only emails ending with .com is valid?
Coding patterns for regular expressions is completely unintuitive, as far
as I can see. I have been trying to write script that produces an array
of attribute components within an HTML element.
Consider the example of the HTML element TABLE with the following
attributes producing sufficient complexity within the element:
<table id="machines" class="noborders inred"
style="margin:2em 4em;background-color:#ddd;">
Note that the HTML was created as a string in code, and thus there are NO
newlines ('
') in the string, as if a file was parsed...so newlines are
not an issue. The only whitespace is the space character ' ' itself,
required to delimit the element components.
I want to write an RE containing paranthesized substring matching that
neatly orders attribute components. The resulting array, after the
execution of the string .match() method upon the example, should look as
follows:
attrs = [ "id", "machines", "class", "noborders inred", "style",
"margin:2em 4em;background-color:#ddd;" ]
I can then march down the array (in steps of 2) setting attributes
(name=value) to the element using standard DOM interface methods, right?
In approaching the writing of the RE, I have to take into account the
characters permitted to form the attribute name and the attribute value.
I assume a start to the RE pattern as:
<attribute name>=<attribute value>
I then try to find the right RE pattern for <attribute name>, keeping in
mind what the legal characters are for attribute names according to the
HTML standard ("recommendation"):
[A-Za-z0-9-]+
I believe this patterns conforms to the standard for attribute values:
[,;'":!%A-Za-z0-9s.-]+
That pattern tries to be more exclusive than inclusive, although I think
just about every character on the planet, including a newline, is
acceptable in an attribute value, at least the kind one might see in an
HTML document. Code:

I am trying to use regular expressions within JavaScript for the picture upload component of a shopping cart. I still can't seem to get my mind around them.
I have a page with a working file upload. When you click on browse and then select your file, the file name is also returned to the second field, the picture name field. The problem is that the entire string is returned - 'G:CatalogMyPicturessomepic.jpg' instead of 'somepic.jpg'.
I know this can be pulled out with regular expressions, everything from the right until it hits a / or I included the script and a couple of links. Code:
know there is a similar post on here but it didn't really give me any actual help on this topic:It seems that I have the correct regular expressions in this however it doesn't want to follow my freaking instructions can you guys maybe show me where I'm going wrong and give me a short source code on how to rectify it. Code is below:
function validate(theForm)
{
var falseCounter = 0;
[code]....
I'm trying to validate the form, but each time I try to do so, all fields return invalid. I've tested my regular expressions with various online testers and they seem to work fine, am I perhaps using it in the wrong way? Or maybe a problem with my functions?

i'm trying to use a regular expression to verify an order. I basically don't want any decimals or negative numbers allowed. I believe I have any digit 0-9 one or more times and negating decimals. but for some reason it allows decimals and letters. also is it correct to put return true or can i just leave it blank?

I keep getting an error that says item is null. I'm a little lost because once I got my regExp to start working this actually worked for a little bit. When I came back I was getting an error.
var creditExp = /^([345])(\d{3})\-?(\d{4})\-?(\d{4})\-?(\d{4})$/;
var creditNumber = document.getElementById("creditnum").value;
var item = creditExp.exec(creditNumber);
document.getElementById("creditnum").value = item[1] + item[2] + "-" + item[3] + "-" + item[4] + "-" + item[5];
if (item[1] == 4 && document.getElementById("card1").checked == true) {
return true;
}else
if (item[1] == 5 && document.getElementById("card2").checked == true) {
return true;
}else
if (item[1] == 3 && document.getElementById("card3").checked == true) {
return true;
} else {
alert("You must enter a valid credit card number.");
document.getElementById("creditnum").focus();
return false;
}
var billingName = document.getElementById('creditname').value;
if (billingName == null || billingName == "") {
alert("You must enter your first name as printed on your credit card!");
document.getElementById('creditname').focus();
return false;
}
Code JavaScript:
function regExpression(stringValue) {
if (stringValue === null || stringValue.length === 0) {
alert("No string was entered"); }
else if (stringValue.match(/^[_.-a-z0-9]+@[_.-a-z]+.[a-z]{2,4}$/i) != null)
alert("This is a valid email.");
else {
alert("The string is not a valid email."); }
}
The problem is that: Code: john.smith@gmail123.com works. The 123 in the provider shouldn't be allowed, but it is. I'm trying to build a regular expressions for email.
Here's what used up the last couple of hours of my time.
The Mac version of MSIE will not load a script that has this in it:
theItem.elm.value = theItem.elm.value.replace(/^s*(.*?)s*$/, "$1");
Now I had other regular expressions in the script done this way, but in this one case I had to use the object constructor method.
It will won't work in this browser, but now at least the script loads and other functions in the same file work.
I have a solution so basically I'm looking for some insight into this if anyone has it. What is it about this particular expression that upsets Mac MSIE?
Explain to me why this doesn't work? code... All it does is crashes my browser.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to create a function with Javascript regular expressions that will grab the entire contents of a custom tag and place that into a string. Including the tag that I am grabbing.
This is what I think the regular expression should look like:
<myTag[^>]*>(.*?)</myTag>
Whats the best way to use Javascript to place the results of my Regular Expression shown above into a string.
For example:
if myString = "bla bla bla <myTag>some more text</myTag>" then I need a command that will use the regular expression to put "<myTag>some more text</myTag>" into another string var.
I think I need to use the RegExp command in Javascript but I am unsure.

Next problem is with the right phone number format.. I have a PHP regular expression, but I don´t know how to insert this regExp into JS.
var toSearch = "I Wish This Worked. What Is The Issue?";
var pattern = /is/gi;
result = pattern.exec(toSearch);
alert(result.length); Shouldn't this be 4, not 1?
/*while((result = pattern.exec(toSearch)) != null)
alert(result[0] );*/
The commented out code works to access all instances of 'is'. But what's the point of returning an array if you're only going to use one index(0)? You'd have to manually code to get a full array of the returns, doesn't that defeat the purpose?
i am wanting to validate an input field to only validate if 6 numbers are entered
I am reading Simply JS book and can't seem to find anything about that.
I'm inexperienced with Javascript and I found this script, but I'm not sure how to alter it to do what I want. I have a PHP script that creates forms in a loop. $z in this case could equal 3, and 3 forms each containing 1 Position/Office field will be created including 1 Candidate field. If a user wants to add a new candidate for that specific position, I want to be able to add a Candidate text field just relevant to that Office/Position. With this script, I've only been able to pop up a text field under one Office/Position and not under any other Office/Position. I think it has something to do with my divs.
Javascript:
var inival=0; // Initialise starting element number
// Call this function to add textbox
function addTextBox()
{
