Question

Hi Jake, thanks for cool validator! I'm having a bit of a problem implementing
it though. I have a web form which populates a field (RegExp_id) with a regular
expression (/(\D{3}\d{4})$/). I'm attempting to use that regular expression to
validate another field (ID) but to no avail. If I do an alert, it's getting the
value of the RegExp_id field. I've tried the following:


var RegEx = new RegExp(document.forms[0].RegExp_id.value,'g');
Validator.fields=
[
{name: "ID",type: "regex",pattern: RegEx, message: "Please enter a valid AD ID
(abc1234)"}
]


return Validator.validate();


Now, if I don't use the variable RegEx and just type in the regular expression
everything works as designed. I just can't get past this. Please help.


Thanks,
Keith
