JavaScript regular expression validation for domain name?

Question

How to check a valid domain name and username with regular expression in JavaScript?

function validate()
{
    var patt1=new RegExp(/^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\\[a-zA-Z0-9.-]$/);

    var text= document.getElementById('text1').value;

    alert(patt1.test(text));
}

But it does not work for me.

Answer 1

function CheckIsValidDomain(domain) { 
    var re = new RegExp(/^((?:(?:(?:\w[\.\-\+]?)*)\w)+)((?:(?:(?:\w[\.\-\+]?){0,62})\w)+)\.(\w{2,6})$/); 
    return domain.match(re);
} 

try this its work for me.

Answer 2

Don't mix up the RegExp constructor with regex literals. Use either

/^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\\[a-zA-Z0-9.-]$/

or

new RegExp("^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\\\\[a-zA-Z0-9.-]$");

Not sure what the backslash does in there, btw. Did you want to match a dot? In literal, use \., in string use \\..

Answer 3

Use this:

<script>
    function frmValidate() {
        var val = document.frmDomin.name.value;
        if (/^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,61}[a-zA-Z0-9](?:\.[a-zA-Z]{2,})+$/.test(val)) {
            alert("Valid Domain Name");
            return true;
        } else {
            alert("Enter Valid Domain Name");
            val.name.focus();
            return false;
        }
    }
</script>
