Question

In Jquery i want a function which should not allow special character.
I want some thing like this:

function CheckFileName(Name) {
            $('span.error-keyup-2').remove();
            var inputVal = $(this).val();
            var characterReg = /^\s*[a-zA-Z0-9,\s]+\s*$/;
            if (!characterReg.test(Name)) {
                $(this).after('<span class="error error-keyup-2">No special characters allowed.</span>');
                return false;
            }
        }

I know its not work.there is not any thing like test.But unable to use regex pattern in jquery.Thanks.

There is a test() method of a regular expression object so your code will work. pattern.test(string) returns true if string matches given pattern.
