Question

Here is the code i have and its doing something, just not what i need it to. Any help?

reee = /$('#username').val()/;
  if(reee.test($('#password').val()))

i even tried it as

    reee = $('#username').val();
      if(reee.test($('#password').val()))

my function stops at this if statement if i dont include the / (im kind of new to jquery so im not 100% sure that the / do but i know if i gave a range like /0-9/ it will see if a number is present.

Answer 1

reee = new RegExp($('#username').val(),g);
  if(reee.test($('#password').val()))

try that…

or check if password contains username

why not use indexOf?

var username = "reigel";
var password = "reigelgallarde"
alert(password.indexOf(username) != -1); // alerts true

indexOf returns the position of the string in the other string. If not found, it will return -1.
