hey @vngx

See if a js code something like this might help for pure js validation.

<scrindent preformatted text by 4 spacesipt type=“text/javascript”>
function validate()
{
alert(“Please Enter required fields”);
var ctr = 0;
debugger;
var name=document.getElementById(‘username’).value;
if(name==“”)
{
alert(“For completing the form, it requires you to input a Name”);
document.getElementById(‘username’).style.border=“1px solid red”;
document.getElementById(“username”).innerHTML=(“Enter the Name”);
return false;
}
if(document.getElementById(‘Address’).value==“”)
{
alert(“For completing the form, it requires you to input a Address”);
document.getElementById(‘Address’).style.border=“1px solid red”;
document.getElementById(“Address”).innerHTML=(“Enter the Address”);
return false;
}

@vngx

For checking Regular expressions for special charterers

var ck_username = /[1]{3,20}$/;
Supports alphabets and numbers no special characters except underscore(‘_’) min 3 and max 20 characters.

var ck_password = /[2]{6,20}$/;
Supports special characters and here min length 6 max 20 charters.

Check out these two links they might help you

I hope this helps

  2. A-Za-z0-9!@#$%^&*()_ ↩︎

@skymodigiworld
Thanks for your effort
but You do not get still my point

I am not looking for supporting charcters
I want whethar a particular field contain some symbol in it or not like suppose “123456&&” I want to check on this that it contains some symbols in it or not

Then you’ll be after something like this.

var symbols = /[!@#$%^&*()_]/,
    hasSymbol = symbols.test(someText);
