Thanks for your followup Param,
I've also performed some tests on my local environment based on the regex
you provided. I'd have to admit that this is
a exiting problem of the regular expression support of the IE browser. Even
we direct use some simple script to validate it as below:
function test() {
var re = new
RegExp("^(?!\\d )(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[\\W_]).{8,25}$");
var m = re.exec("Test_F ield1");
if (m == null) {
alert("No match");
} else {
var s = "Match at position " + m.index + ":\n";
for (i = 0; i < m.length; i++) {
s = s + m[i] + "\n";
}
alert(s);
}
}
Also, currently I think the problem will still remain in the IE and we need
to workaround it through some other means such as using serverside
validation. Sorry for the inconvience it brings you.
