regex test (emailPat) in below code is working fine when I am injecting code in browser through browser console but it doesnt work after placing it in LS question text. Is there any special way of using regular expression in LS?
Code:
var $emailBoxes = $('#answer559779X556X128541_a,#answer559779X556X128542_a');
var emailPat = /^(\w[-._+\w]*\w@\w[-._\w]*\w\.\w{2,3})$/
$('#movenextbtn').on('click',function(){
var errorState = false;
$emailBoxes.each(function(){
var tempEmailInput = $.trim($(this).val());
if(tempEmailInput != '' && emailPat.test(tempEmailInput) == false){ //Input is not empty and Do not pass email validation test
$(this).css('background-color','red');
$('span.questionhelp:first').text('Please enter valid email id').css('color','red');
errorState = true;
}
});
if(errorState){
return false;
}
});
With the advent of Expression Manager, you cannot have curly braces in regexes in the question source (I know, I know, don't get me started on that again).
Try defining the emailPat var in template.js instead of in your question.
