Question

I am using a plugin that I found in http://www.mathachew.com/sandbox/jquery-autotab/
(please take a look at it to understand what I am talking about).

To change focus from an input after reaching the maxlength.. and also to validate the inputs
so I have this line here:

$("#day").autotab_filter({format:"custom", pattern:"0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-1]|3[01]"});
$("#month").autotab_filter({format:"custom", pattern:"0[1-9]|1[012]"});

It seems that my regex patterns are wrong or something! I’ve tried every possible combination. Please help!

This is an example http://jsfiddle.net/DAsRR/

Answer 1

i’ve found the answer guys .. if any one needs it in the future:
i must specify the opposit of numbers between 01 and 31 because this is the pattern that will be removed, not to be kept !
so to specify all numbers except the range from 01 to 31 this is the correct pattern :

[^0-9]|00|^[3][2-9]$|^[4-9]

explaination: [^0-9] will not except any character other than numbers ! from 0 to 9
00, is not a valid day number !
and ^[3][2-9]$ is for all numbers that start with with 3 and end with numbers from 2 to 9
35, is not a valid day number though !!
and ^[4-9] is for numbers that start with 4 to 9 .
any other question about that pluging i’d be glad to answer it
