Spry custom validation for particular word or any number

Jun 26, 2012 7:38 AM

I currently have the following for Spry validation of a particular text box:

 

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/spry/SpryValidationTextField.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/spry/SpryValidationSelect.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/spry/SpryValidationTextarea.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/spry/SpryValidationPassword.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/spry/SpryValidationConfirm.js"></script>

<input id="spryuses" type="text" size="15" maxlength="15" name="uses" value="Unlimited" />
 var spryuse = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("spryuses", "none", {useCharacterMasking:true, validateOn:["change"]});

 

I want the validation to limit the input to the word "Unlimited" or any number.

 

How can I do this with Spry? I could not find an example that's close enough for my limited knowledge.

    Thanks Gramps!

     

    Your example allows the word "Unlimited" only. I wanted it to allow that word or any number.

     

    What do I need to change to allow any number and that word?

    Gramps, Thanks again

     

    Your last code works great but now entries such as "Unlimited1", "Unlimited 3", "Unlimited sss" , "nlimited 22" are all allowable.

     

    What I'm going for is only "Unlimited" or "unlimited" or 1,2,3...

     

    I played around with the code but I can't figure it out.

     

    Jeff

    for all numbers (0-hunderedsandthousandsetc)

    return /^(Unlimited|unlimited|[0-9]+)$/.test(value)

    for single numbers (0 to 9 only)

    return /^(Unlimited|unlimited|[0-9])$/.test(value)

    Gramps, Thank you so very much.

     

    I Googled and used Adobe's search but could not find an explaination of the operators/regex.  

    return /^(Unlimited|unlimited|[0-9]+)$/.test(value)

    Works perfectly!
