how to include " in my validation script

[Bartosz Wegrzyn]

I wrote this function to validate the name.


//test name for illegal characters
var illegal = "0123456789!@#$ %^&*()-=_+[]\{}|;':,./?><";
for (var i=0;i<strng.len gth;i++) {
temp = strng.substring (i,i+1);

if (illegal.indexO f(temp) != -1 && strng != "")

{
error = "The name contains illegal characters.\n";
}

How can I include " character in my 'illegal' string.
Are there any other ways to tell string 'illegal' to include only letters.

I am not familiar with this.
If you know any links plesase give it to me.

Thanks

function validate (thisString) {
var re = /[^A-Za-z]/g; // creating a regular expression
if (re.test(thisSt ring)) {
error = "The name contains illegal characters.";
}
else {
// everything's fine
}
}
