Thanks to the answer of redsquare I added a method like this:
$.validator.addMethod(
"regex",
function(value, element, regexp) {
var re = new RegExp(regexp);
return this.optional(element) || re.test(value);
},
"Please check your input."
);
Now all you need to do to validate against any regex is this:
$("#Textbox").rules("add", { regex: "^[a-zA-Z'.\\s]{1,40}$" })
Additionally, it looks like there is a file called additional-methods.js
that contains the method “pattern”, which can be a RegExp
when created using the method without quotes.
Edit
The pattern
function is now the preferred way to do this, making the example:
$("#Textbox").rules("add", { pattern: "^[a-zA-Z'.\\s]{1,40}$" })
