Question

This is my jQuery code:

$(document).ready(function(e) {
    $('#step1 #fName').focus(function() {
        $('#step1 #fName').keyup(function() {
            var reg = /^([A-Za-z])$/;
            var check = $('#step1 #fName').val();

            if (reg.test(check) == true || check.match(reg) == true) {
                $('#step1 #fName').css('border',' 1px solid #CCC'); 
            }
            else {
                $('#step1 #fName').css('border',' 1px solid #b20000');  
            }
        });
    });
});

And I want to apply jQuery validation on this HTML tag:

<input type="text" class="width-260" id="fName"/>

How would I go about doing this? Thanks in advance.

You need to create a RegExp object, using new RegExp()…

Try with:

var reg = new RegExp('^([A-Za-z])$');
