Question

How can I rewrite this code to check for all characters including the swedish å, ä, and ö characters?

      alphaExp = /^[a-zA-Z]+$/;

The above only checks against english letters!

The swedish contains å, ä, ö coming after the Z… rest is all the same as english.

Thanks

Pretty much straight from the horse’s mouth:

Support for
internationalization in JavaScript’s RegExp is virtually nonexistent.

See the posts following the linked one for how to get around this (by defining your own character class).
