phone validation does not recognize correct entry

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 10.2007

This is urgent — my client’s form is not working live. I am no coder, but someone who is unavailable at the moment wrote the script below. When the correct phone number format is entered, it still returns, “Please enter a valid phone number”. My search cannot find a specific solution because I am not smart enough with the js. Can you see the problem and suggest how I can quickly fix it?

[B]Validation Script[/B]:

// function to check US phone – format 999-999-9999
function IsPhone(snum)
{
var rePhone = /^(d{3})(-)(d{3})(-)(d{4})$/
return rePhone.test(snum)
}

[B]Inline script in php page:[/B]

<input style=”font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 11px;” maxlength=”80″ id=”phone” size=”23″ name=”phone” value=”Day Time Phone Number” onFocus=”this.value=”;return false;” type=”text”>

@LeeUJan 10.2007 — Try this and see if it works:
[CODE]var rePhone = /^(?[2-9]d{2}[).-]?s?d{3}[s.-]?d{4}$/
return rePhone.test(snum)[/CODE]

@JackAndrewsauthorJan 10.2007 — Thanks but I have no idea how or where to paste this --- head? --- inline? -- inside } and }? --- in the script in place of what's there now or in the page? Sorry to be so green on this.

The error is coming from the function isInt, which fails to validate anything but digits. Change the expression in that function to read:

/^(d|-)+$/

@JackAndrewsauthorJan 10.2007 — Do you mean here?

// function to check indiger field

function IsInteger(snum)

{

var reInteger = /^d+$/

return reInteger.test(snum)

or in the code I sent originally?
