jQuery matching pattern

I'm trying to validate my inputs with jQuery before a form is sent.

This is what my input fields look like when there is no value inserted in the database:

    <input
      class="field"
      type="text"
      style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
      value="" name="input_18748_388_1257894000_"/>

This is what my input fields look like when there is an existing value inserted in the database:

    <input
      class="field"
      type="text"
      style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
      value=""
      name="input_18748_388_1257894000_46549876"/>

I would like to:

• Check if the value is already in the database

• Check开发者_StackOverflow中文版 if the user want to replace an existing value by nothing or zero and disallow it.

• Check if the user is trying to insert 0 in a new field and disallow it.

Solved:

  $("input[name^='input_"+var+"_']")
                .each(function() {
                    if ($(this).attr('name').match(/^input_\d+_\d+_\d+_\d+/)
                        && ($(this).val() == '' || $(this).val() <= 0))
                    {
                        displayDialog("<?=_('error')?>")
                        flag_error = 1;
                        return false;
                    }
            });
    // Submit the form.

Try this:

$('input[name]')
    .filter (function () { 
        return $(this).attr('name').match (/^input_\d+_\d+_\d+_.+/$); 
    })
    .each (function () {
        if ($(this).val() <= 0) {
            //... raise a fuss ...
        }
    });

This needs to be called on submit or change as you prefer.

You need to bind a keydown event and check keycodes. This example will disable space and the 0 char in input fields with the name attribute ending with '_':

$('input[name$=_]').bind('keydown', function(e) {
    var key = e.keyCode || e.which;
    if (key == 48 || key == 32) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }
})

 $("input[name^='input_"+var+"_']")
                .each(function() {
                    if ($(this).attr('name').match(/^input_\d+_\d+_\d+_\d+/)
                        && ($(this).val() == '' || $(this).val() <= 0))
                    {
                        displayDialog("<?=_('error')?>")
                        flag_error = 1;
                        return false;
                    }
                });

You may benefit the Regex Selector for jQuery Plugin. It allows code like:

$('div:regex(input,^input_(\d+|)+_?$)'); //just an example regex

Also, note that you can combine multiple attribute selectors, ie:

$("input[name^='input_'][name$='_']")

Add a class "my_very_special_input" to every input element you would like to validate that way:

$(".my_very_special_input").change( function() {
                            if ($(this).val() <= 0) {
                                    alert('You cant delete this');
                                    flag_error = 1;
                                    return false;
                              }
                    });
