hi ...

play with this:

[CODE=javascript]
// val is your input-value here :)
var val = 'foo';

if (!(/\d/g.test(val))) {
alert('put at least one numeric char in :\)');
}
[/CODE]
it uses a regExp for the purpose :)

kind regards

Please tell clearly dear..!

I want to have alert + action should also not get performed..
I am running update query..So it should not get fired wen getting alert neither it should postback.
but with your script ,,the query is firing..

[gits]

it is clear ... according to your first requirement :) ...

please post the client side code you are using and where the check is performed. i guess to avoid the submit then your checkfunction should return false in addition to the alert and otherwise it should return true ... but i should see how you use the check at the moment ...

kind regards

hi ...

you may simply use a regExp:

[CODE=javascript]
function test_value(val) {
var re = /\d/g;
return re.test(val);
}

var val = 'abcd1';

alert( test_value(val) );
[/CODE]
kind regards

Nopes...
It is not at all working...I think u didn't get my Question....
I am saying that it should allow Alphanumerics, Numerics but not ALPHABETS alone...
Please read the question carefully...

[gits]

that is exactly what it does ... read the code carefully ... the function returns false in case there is no numeric character in it ...

[nitindel]

My Cool Dude... Please read Carefully now.....
I have a text box in an ASP Form...ok..

Now i have to enter employee ID there...which can be Numeric ,alpha numeric...as well....

There is a module in a page that Changes the Employee ID ....okies....

Now.. i want that if EmployeeID is changed in the TextBox..it should not accept only ALPHABETS ALPHABETS ALPHABETS...whe n entered alone. like "Michael, Bryan, Sachin..etc etc..."

but it can accept entries like Michael123,Sach in007 and so on....

If entered alphabets alone ...it Should give alert that "Only alphabets can not be an EmployeeID"...

please be careful with your words ... and your attitude ... i'll help you out since you asked for it but i will not do write the entire code for you!! i got your question two times (i've merged the threads) and answered it ... and you didn't get the answer two times ... did you try to understand it? tried to use the code?

the following example shows you how to use the code ...

[CODE=html]<script type="text/javascript">
function test_value(val) {
var re = /\d/g;

return re.test(val);
}

function validate(node) {
var val = test_value(node .value);

if (!val) {
alert('you did it really wrong');

node.focus();
node.select();
}

return val;
}
</script>
<body>
<input type="text" onchange="valid ate(this);"/>
</body>
[/CODE]
as you can see ... quite trivial and it does exactly what you requested. so in case you don't know how to use provided snippets then simply ask for it ...

Hi All,
Greetings..i found the solution ..!!!


the snippet is :

[CODE=javascript]
var regexNum = /\d/;
var regexLetter = /[a-zA-z]/;
if(!regexNum.te st(m) && regexLetter.tes t(m)){
alert('Only Alphabets are not allowed..!!');
return false;
}[/CODE]

Note: var m = document.test.e mployeeid.value ;

Coooool one :-)

hi ...

glad to hear that but one thing to mention. your test returns true in case the value would be:

[CODE=javascript]m = '...';[/CODE]
for example. so it would be better to use an OR in the check like the following:

[CODE=javascript]var re1 = /\W/g;
var re2 = /\d/g;

if(re1.test(m) || !re2.test(m)) {
alert(
'Special Characters or Only Alphabets\n'
+ 'are not allowed..!!'
);
}
[/CODE]
that would only allow a-z, A-Z, _ and 0-9 and requires at least one numeric character ...
