indexOf an array?

[Gozil]

Hello, i was wondering if its possible to check the my value against an array?
Lets say I have 5 characters i dont want the user to have in the input field so instead of writeing like this:

my_value.indexOf('first') == -1
my_value.indexOf('second') == -1
my_value.indexOf('3rd') == -1
my_value.indexOf('4th') == -1
my_value.indexOf('5th') == -1 and so on...
 
I would write like this:
var array_value = new Array("first", "second", "3rd", "4th" ,"5th");
value.indexOf(array_value) == -1

I tried that but couldnt get it to work, so is it possible to do this?

hi ...

try something like the following:

var array_value = new Array("first", "second", "3rd", "4th" ,"5th");
 
for (var i = 0; i < array_value.length; i++) {
    if (value.indexOf(array_value[i]) == -1) {
        // do something
    } else {
        // do something other
    }
}
 

kind regards
