indexOf an array?

[Gozil]

Hello, i was wondering if its possible to check the my value against an array?
Lets say I have 5 characters i dont want the user to have in the input field so instead of writeing like this:

[CODE=javascript]my_value.indexO f('first') == -1
my_value.indexO f('second') == -1
my_value.indexO f('3rd') == -1
my_value.indexO f('4th') == -1
my_value.indexO f('5th') == -1 and so on...

I would write like this:
var array_value = new Array("first", "second", "3rd", "4th" ,"5th");
value.indexOf(a rray_value) == -1[/CODE]

I tried that but couldnt get it to work, so is it possible to do this?

hi ...

try something like the following:

[CODE=javascript]
var array_value = new Array("first", "second", "3rd", "4th" ,"5th");

for (var i = 0; i < array_value.len gth; i++) {
if (value.indexOf( array_value[i]) == -1) {
// do something
} else {
// do something other
}
}
[/CODE]
kind regards
