Question

I have the following JS function:

function noSpecialChars(element) {
    element.value = element.value.replace(/[^a-z\u00D1\u00F10-9]*/ig,'').toUpperCase();
}

That i apply to a input text, but it doesn’t allow spaces on the word typed.

Would it be better to write a function that instead of replacing the special chars, one that only allowed letters a-z, numbers 0-9 and space?

I’m new to javascript and regex.

Answer 1

function noSpecialChars(element) {
    element.value = element.value.replace(/[^a-z \u00D1\u00F10-9]/ig,'').toUpperCase();
}
