add regex to jquery.validate
jquery, jquery-plugins
Solution
well, you could add your custom validation method using `addMethod`, like
$.validator.addMethod("regx", function(value, element, regexpr) {
return regexpr.test(value);
}, "Please enter a valid pasword.");
And ,
...
$("#myBlahForm").validate({
rules: {
somePassword: {
required: true ,
//change regexp to suit your needs
regx: /^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])\w{6,}$/,
minlength: 5,
maxlength: 8
}
}
Problem
Need to add a regex check to my jquery.validate script. I have this: ``` $().ready(function() { $("#myBlahForm").validate({ rules: { someName: { required: true, minlength: 5, maxlength: 8, }, somePassword: { required: true, minlength: 5, maxlength: 8, }, someConfirmPassword: { required: true, equalTo: "#somePassword" }, }, messages: { someName: { required: "Please create your username", }, somePassword: { required: "Please create a password", }, someConfirmPassword: { required: "Please re-enter your password", equalTo: "Passwords must match" }, } }); ``` }); And I would like to check for specific characters that are allowed in the DB for passwords when the user enters their data here: ``` <label for="someName">Username</label> <input type="text" id="someName" name="someName" placeholder="Create a Username"/> <label for="somePassword">Password</label> <input type="password" id="somePassword" name="somePassword" placeholder="Create a Password"/> <label for="someConfirmPassword">Confirm Password </label> <input type="password" id="someConfirmPassword" name="someConfirmPassword" placeholder="Verify your Password"/> ``` What's the best way to add a regex check to a required field such as a password or username using jquery.validate plugin from bassisstance: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation Basically, I need to make sure that the password and usernames they create only have 0-9, letters, and a couple of special characters.
