I basically have the following check on my page - this is a word rule in which the description in the text box cannot be more than three words, excluding the word "and". I performed the following server side check in C #, which works fine
if (Desc.Trim().ToString() != "")
{
MatchCollection collection = Regex.Matches(Desc.Replace("and", ""), @"[\S]+");
if (collection.Count > 3)
{
ErrorMsg.Append("Description should contain at most 3 words(excluding 'and').");
ErrorMsg.Append("\\n");
}
}
However, it is difficult for me to get the same in Javascript. I tried the following, but it still does not work, so it is hoped that someone who has a better knowledge of Javascript will see an error. Please note that if is part of a larger authentication function that fires on the page - warnings were only there to find out if this got into it, if (that it isn’t) - when this block is removed, the rest of the JS on the page works great.
if (Desc.val().trim() != "")
{
alert('1');
!regexWordRule.test(Desc.val());
alert('2');
if (Desc.val().match(regexWordRule).length > 3)
{
errorText += "Description should contain at most 3 words(excluding 'and').";
}
valid = false;
}
- regexWordRule, js .
var regexWordRule = /[\S]+/;
