vaildating mixed numeric text string

[Chris]

How would I go about validating multiple textfields within the same
form to ensure they start with either 1 or 2 numerical digits (from 8
to 14) followed by 2 or 3 text characters eg. 8MN and 14ABC being
acceptable?

Thanks for the help!

Try this regular expression
var re = /^([89]|1[0-4])[A-Z]{2,3}$/;

You can test a field value against it:
if (!re.test(field Ref.value)) {
// do error handling
}
