I want to do some form control. Want to check if the entered data are in the correct form.

The section “Contact” section must be completely filled in.

E mail adress in a correct format

This filed “Information to the organizer (max 200 characters)” is not reqiured. But if used, the maximum characters are max 200 charactwers.

When the tickboxes Seminaries or Discussions are choosen the “Information to the organizer (max 200 characters)” must be entered.

I want to have a .js file to do this.

I found something, like this (do not understand it realy)

var pattern = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+@([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+\.([a-zA-Z])+([a-zA-Z])+/;
var isValid = pattern.test(email);
Can anyone help me out? PLEASE, with codes. Js is totaly new for me.

look at HTML 5 for 'input and its attributes',
by HTML 5 , you can integrate 'filters', 'placeholders','types' of input field, it's really useful


it's really making easy 'forms and inputs' ( without JS ) :

here is the link :: w3school
--------------------------------------------------
about var pattern ( your questions ) :

it's a 'regular expression pattern' which check if the String is a mail address.
if yes return true ... if no return false.

  • the 'whole pattern' is between / and /
  • 'sub set' are between '(' and ')' ; there are 4 sub sets define in the reg exp.
  • + indicates it could have more than one character in the 'sub set'

when you have [a-zA-Z0-9_.-] , it's to check if all characters is in ascii from "a minus" to "Z capital" and also numbers from 0 to 9, adding to the sub set the _ , the . , the -

it's not a 'basic string', it's parameters for the 'regular expression engine'

more in this reference link : reg exp in details
