Input restrictions: pattern

  • I would like to know more about the Input Restriction for text based on “pattern”. I followed the link to the w3 javascript page but have no idea how to use this in your plugin or what is allowed.

    A couple simple examples of what I could add in the pattern section and how this would effect the text input would be great. Thanks.

  • Hello,

    Actually I think I will replace this link by this one:
    https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_pattern.asp

    It explains better how to use the pattern attribute.
    If you have a more specific question, please let me know.

    Looking at your link, I see, for example, something that says ‘pattern=”[A-Za-z]{3}”‘ Hmmmm, I guess I understand that, but I wonder how to actually format this in this plugin’s “pattern” input section. Should I type pattern=”[A-Za-z]{3}” with quotes, or maybe “[A-Za-z]{3}”, or perhaps just [A-Za-z]{3} without the quotes??? I guess I will just have to hack around with it to figure it out.

    Gee, if only someone had given me a simple example…that would have really helped…

    I’m sorry,
    You just have to add it without quotes, like [A-Za-z]{3}
