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 restrict special character in html input box with Angular 7. Similarly I have some other requirement like to enter only number, letter etc.
Am new to Angular, any help will be appreciated.
I tried with some below code:
<input type="text" maxlength="45" class="form-control" id="hno" [(ngModel)]="Address.number" pattern="^[^`~!##$%\^&*()_+={}|[\]\\:';"<>?,./]*$">
Your pattern attribute should look like this:
pattern="[^`~!##$%\^&*()_+={}|[\]\\:';<>?,./\x22]*"
Firstly, you should NOT use ^ and $ because you match every single character with this pattern.
Secondly, there is a problem with the " character. So for now I just removed it from the class, will look more into it.
UPD: Found a solution for a quote character here. \x22 works as " character.
Here is a working example: https://jsfiddle.net/qy5m07uh/
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.
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.
Is it possible to make some kind of pattern matching with html5 to only allow 3-digit numbers to a text form. I do not want the input type to be number because I dont like the visual design of it.
The closest I get is pattern=".{0.3}" But that accepts all kind of text input - not limited to numbers.
<input type="text" name="price" id="price" pattern="fancy code here">
Question: Can you make a pattern in input type="text" that accepts only integers in the max length of 3?
Use this pattern:
\d{1,3}
and the required attribute
