need != want

Extention testing != file testing
can anybody help me please?
var isImageExtentio n = /.\.(jpe?g||gif| |png)$/i.test(t);

Not tested.

No coffee, why are you not tested?

Please explain.
alert(/.\.(jpe?g||gif| |png)$/i.test("foo.")) ;

The syntax of regular expressions defines a single pipe as separator for
alternatives, doubling them results in your final production allowing no
extension at all.

They weren't that friendly so I escaped :)

That's why I didn't test ;-{

Hello, I need to apply validation to two text boxes. One text box named FirstNumber is required to contain only numbers, and be only three digits long. The other text box named SecondNumber needs to also require only numbers, but allow for four digits. I need to have a msg box appear after the user clicks a button named 'submit' if the validation on either text box has been violated.

Hi all; I code Perl for CGI, I using regular expression to check the validation of user input, because the form is small and it run only from my own computer, anyways if many people using my form, do you think it will be slow due to Perl is run under server. How about using JavaSCript to check validation for user input? Do you think it a bit faster?

My understanding of regular expressions is rudimentary, at best. I have this RegExp to to a very simple validation of an email-address, but it turns out that it refuses to accept mail-addresses with hypens in them. Can anybody please help me adjust it so it will accept addresses like dag-sunde@test-domain.net too?

Are there any current browsers that have Javascript support, but not RegExp support? For example, cell phone browsers, blackberrys, or other "minimal" browsers? I know that someone using Netscape 3 would fall into this category, for example, but that's not a realistic situation anymore. And if such a condition exists, then how do you guys handle validation using regular expressions, if the browser lacks them? For example:
