JS and RegExp in IE5

[asdn]

Hi,

I get an error in this function in IE 5.0, while they are run fine in NN4 and Opera5:

function check_number(numbertotest) {
var reg=RegExp("^[0-9]+$","");
return reg.test(numbertotest);
}


Any ideas what I am doing wrong ?
PS. The modification
var reg=RegExp('/^[0-9]+$/',"")
does not work either.

I don't know if this will work in IE 5.0... but I haven't heard any complains yet from my users who do.

I tend to keep my reg vars out of the quotes.
So mine looks like this...

var reg=/^[0-9]+$/;

And if you want to allow a blank entry, than just change the + to a *

Hope that helps.

Thank you stuartd. It worked for me. I tried earlier

var reg=RegExp(/^[0-9]+$/,"");

but it failed too.


Best regards,
