conditional validation

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 08.2009

This has been driving me crazy for about a month now.

I have an hta file that I created for my Job. There is a field called “youruid” which is where the agents have to place their User ID. All User ID’s are in a specific format.

Currently I am using this

function uidcheck()
{
var uidpopup = “Your UID”;
if (youruid.value.length<6) {
youruid.disabled=false
alert (uidpopup + ” is invalid”)
youruid.value=””
document.getElementById(“youruid”).focus();
}
else {
youruid.disabled=true
return false;
document.getElementById(“ban”).focus();
}
}

Its working okay but I really want the field to be validated with a format.
The IDs are in this format aa000[a or 0] two characters (not case sensitive) then either 4 numbers or 3 numbers then another character.

I believe the format is [a-zA-Z]{2}d{4} for for numbers

How can I make the function validate to make sure that it is in this format?

@ZeroKilledMay 08.2009 — use the [b]test[/b] method to check if the regular expression match the value. <i>
</i>if (youruid.value.length&lt;6 || !/^[a-z]{2}d{3,4}[a-z]$/i.test(youruid.value)) {

@dumbestcrayonauthorMay 08.2009 — THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!


I changed it because your ending didn't work, it only allowed aa000a but all I needed was the script to use this code. Now I got it

Thank you again


Heres the code I used


[CODE]if (youruid.value.length<6 || !/^[a-z]{2}d{3}[a-z0-9]$/i.test(youruid.value)) {[/CODE]

Success!
