You are looking for this: (#\w*)
function hasNonStandard(inputElem) {
return /[#\w*]/.test(inputElem.value);
}
Question
My question is simple:
How do I make the use of JavaScript regex
to detect whether a #hashtag
is being entered in the input element? I have a function to convert the hashtag into a clickable link but it's PHP. I want a similar function but in jQuery the reason is that if a hashtag is entered then I can send a value to the PHP processor form.
Sorry there is no code as I dont know much about JavaScript regex
, also, I could not find any good tutorials.
