Question

I have this code, it looks alright and is really basic, but i can’t make it work:

function checkValid(elem){

 var abc = elem.value;

 var re = "/[0-9]/";

 var match = re.test(abc);

 alert(match);
}

It matches 0 and 9, but not 1 to 8, what’s wrong here? Thanks.

Use \d to match a number and make it a regular expresison, not a string:

var abc = elem.value;
var re = /\d/;
var match = re.test(abc);
alert(match);
