I'm sure I miss something, but can't find the reason why this pattern doesn't work... The validator doesn't accept the format of the string I typed (i.e. 06201234567).
<input type="tel" pattern="06\d{7,9}" placeholder="06201234567">
I tried exactly the same code at w3schools' tryit editor, and there were no problem...
In HTML5 you can use <input type='tel'> and <input type='email'>
You can also specify a specific pattern like <input type='tel' pattern='[\+]\d{2}[\(]\d{2}[\)]\d{4}[\-]\d{4}' title='Phone Number (Format: +99(99)9999-9999)'>
Something like pattern='^\+?\d{0,13}' Would give you an optional + and up to 13 digits
The form is in a template where I replaced some texts like {{example}} with other texts and php's preg_replace() search expression {{.*?}} matched {7,9} in the pattern and replaced it.
With the use of ({{.*?}}) everything's OK.

I have an input field in my Angular component in which i want to not allow a user to be able to type a (space).
I've tried using
<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="inputText" pattern="[a-zA-Z]">
which wasn't what i wanted, and it didn't work anyways!
Does anybody know what the correct regex pattern to just block the (space) key is? And what is the correct way to use the pattern, as the above pattern didn't work...
Thanks in advance.
Using RegEx will still allow the user to type in space. But it will mark the field as invald if a pattern validator is applied to it.
If you don't really want to allow the user to type in space in the first place, you'll have to prevent it by listening to the keydown event on the input and then handling it to prevent its default behaviour. Here, give this a try:
<input type="text" (keydown.space)="$event.preventDefault()">
Here's also a Sample StackBlitz for your ref.
If you want to allow any type of character except spaces alone without any letters, you can use this:
"^\w+( +\w+)*$"
If you also want to use accented vowels, you can use this:
"^[a-zA-Zá-úÁ-Ú0-9]+( +[a-zA-Zá-úÁ-Ú0-9]+)*$"
You can use the following pattern:
<input pattern="[^\s]*">
[^\s] is a negative set which matches every character which is not in the set.
\s matches a white space character (e.g. space, tab, etc.)
* matches 0 or more character of the preceding item
Here is an example of how the browser checks if the pattern is correct (i.e. Google Chrome for example does not allow you to submit the form if there is a whitespace character in it. Test it here (enter a string containing a white space and hit Submit):
<form>
<input pattern="[^\s]*">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
The best way of addressing this problem is by writing the directive which you can use on multiple locations.
Here is the Stackblitz sample for the same
My HTML has the following input element (it is intended to accept email addresses that end in ".com"):
<input type="email" name="p_email_ad" id="p_email_ad" value="" required="required" pattern="[\-a-zA-Z0-9~!$%\^&*_=+}{\'?]+(\.[\-a-zA-Z0-9~!$%\^&*_=+}{\'?]+)*#([a-zA-Z0-9_][\-a-zA-Z0-9_]*(\.[\-a-zA-Z0-9_]+)*\.([cC][oO][mM]))(:[0-9]{1,5})?$" maxlength="64">
At some point in the past 2 months, Chrome has started returning the following JavaScript error (and preventing submission of the parent form) when validating that input:
Pattern attribute value
[\-a-zA-Z0-9~!$%\^&*_=+}{\'?]+(\.[\-a-zA-Z0-9~!$%\^&*_=+}{\'?]+)*#([a-zA-Z0-9_][\-a-zA-Z0-9_]*(\.[\-a-zA-Z0-9_]+)*\.([cC][oO][mM]))(:[0-9]{1,5})?$
is not a valid regular expression: Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid
regular expression:
/[\-a-zA-Z0-9~!$%\^&*_=+}{\'?]+(\.[\-a-zA-Z0-9~!$%\^&*_=+}{\'?]+)*#([a-zA-Z0-9_][\-a-zA-Z0-9_]*(\.[\-a-zA-Z0-9_]+)*\.([cC][oO][mM]))(:[0-9]{1,5})?$/: Invalid escape
Regex101.com likes the regex pattern, but Chrome doesn't. What syntax do I have wrong?
Use
pattern="[-a-zA-Z0-9~!$%^&*_=+}{'?]+(\.[-a-zA-Z0-9~!$%^&*_=+}{'?]+)*#([a-zA-Z0-9_][-a-zA-Z0-9_]*(\.[-a-zA-Z0-9_]+)*\.([cC][oO][mM]))(:[0-9]{1,5})?"
The problem is that some chars that should not be escaped were escaped, like ' and ^ inside the character classes. Note that - inside a character class may be escaped, but does not have to when it is at its start.
Note also that HTML5 engines wraps the whole pattern inside ^(?: and )$ constructs, so there is no need using $ end of string anchor at the end of the pattern.
Test:
<form>
<input type="email" name="p_email_ad" id="p_email_ad" value="" required="required" pattern="[-a-zA-Z0-9~!$%^&*_=+}{'?]+(\.[-a-zA-Z0-9~!$%^&*_=+}{'?]+)*#([a-zA-Z0-9_][-a-zA-Z0-9_]*(\.[-a-zA-Z0-9_]+)*\.([cC][oO][mM]))(:[0-9]{1,5})?" maxlength="64">
<input type="Submit">
</form>
I was experiencing the same issue with my application but had a slightly different approach to a solution. My regex has the same issue that the accepted answer describes (special characters being escaped in character classes when they didn't need to be), however the regex I'm dealing with is coming from an external source so I could not modify it. This kind of regex is usually fine for most languages (passes validation in PHP) but as we have found out it breaks with HTML5.
My simple solution, url encode the regex before applying it to the input's pattern attribute. That seems to satisfy the HTML5 engine and it works as expected. JavaScript's encodeURIComponent is a good fit.
My question is exactly like my title. I'm writing a directive with an input field inside the template like below:
<input name="{{name}}"
id="{{name}}"
ng-model="message"
ng-maxlength="{{length}}"
maxlength="{{length}}"
type="text"
ng-pattern=" ... "
autocomplete="off"
/>
what should I fill in ng-pattern?
I finally use /[^0-9a-zA-ZøæåÆØÅöÖäÄüÜ\.\*\\,/\():\[\]= &-]/g
Thanks iismathwizard for mention the whitelist thing.
You can try this:
^[^+\-!"¤%&\/=?]+$
I'm not sure if you have more characters you need to disallow. Perhaps it would be easier to whitelist rather than blacklist "illegal" characters.

I have several form elements that accept hex strings like the one shown below.
<input type="text" name="..." onkeyup="a('...')" pattern=\"[a-fA-F0-9]+\" value=\"****\"/>
I am interested in shorting the pattern attribute value to something shorter, but still accept the same pattern. I am doing this because this html is embedded in a micro controller and saving space is desirable. Is there a predefined cross browser hex matching class?
Only thing shorter is
<input pattern="[a-fA-F\d]+"/>
The \d character class is equivalent to 0-9.

I need to extract a value from a hidden HTML field, have somewhat figured it out but I'm currently stuck.
My regex looks like:
<input type="hidden" name="form_id" value=".*"
But this extracts the whole string from the HTML.
The string looks like:
<input type="hidden" name="form_id" value="123"/>
I need to extract the "value" from the string, it is always changing, but the "name" is always the same. Is there a way to extract it without doing another expression? I appreciate any help.
(?<=<[^<>]+?name="form_id"[^<>]+value=")(.*)(?=")
I just threw this together. Basically you want to negate any ending > in your request. So you'd likely want to do something of this nature:
<[^>]*hidden[^>]*value="(.*)"[^>]*>
And then read the first capture group (Delphi instructions). This keeps it as reasonably generic as possible although it does assume positional order on "hidden" and "value".
In order to find the value without regard for order you could use could use a slightly cleaner lookahead as was suggested:
^(?=.*name="form_id").*value="([^"]*)".*$
<[a-zA-Z"= _^>]*value="(\d*)"/>
I have tested this for your example.
If you want to extract for only input tag you can write:
<input[a-zA-Z"= _^>]*value="(\d*)"/>
