JavaScript: HTML Form - Phone Number validation

Phone Number validation

The validating phone number is an important point while validating an HTML form. In this page we have discussed how to validate a phone number (in different format) using JavaScript :

At first, we validate a phone number of 10 digits with no comma, no spaces, no punctuation and there will be no + sign in front the number. Simply the validation will remove all non-digits and permit only phone numbers with 10 digits. Here is the function. 

function phonenumber(inputtxt)
{
  var phoneno = /^\d{10}$/;
  if((inputtxt.value.match(phoneno))
        {
      return true;
        }
      else
        {
        alert("message");
        return false;
        }
}

To valid a phone number like
XXX-XXX-XXXX
XXX.XXX.XXXX
XXX XXX XXXX
use the following code.

function phonenumber(inputtxt)
{
  var phoneno = /^\(?([0-9]{3})\)?[-. ]?([0-9]{3})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$/;
  if((inputtxt.value.match(phoneno))
        {
      return true;
        }
      else
        {
        alert("message");
        return false;
        }
}

If you want to use a + sign before the number in the following way
+XX-XXXX-XXXX
+XX.XXXX.XXXX
+XX XXXX XXXX
use the following code.

  
function phonenumber(inputtxt)
{
  var phoneno = /^\+?([0-9]{2})\)?[-. ]?([0-9]{4})[-. ]?([0-9]{4})$/;
  if((inputtxt.value.match(phoneno))
        {
      return true;
        }
      else
        {
        alert("message");
        return false;
        }
}

Following code blocks contain actual codes for the said validations. We have kept the CSS code part common for all the validations.

CSS Code

 li {list-style-type: none;
font-size: 16pt;
}
.mail {
margin: auto;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
width: 400px;
background : #D8F1F8;
border: 1px soild silver;
}
.mail h2 {
margin-left: 38px;
}
input {
font-size: 20pt;
}
input:focus, textarea:focus{
background-color: lightyellow;
}
input submit {
font-size: 12pt;
}
.rq {
color: #FF0000;
font-size: 10pt;
}

Validate a 10 digit phone number

At first we validate a phone number of 10 digit. For example 1234567890, 0999990011, 8888855555 etc.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>JavaScript form validation - checking non-empty</title>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='form-style.css' type='text/css' />

<body onload='document.form1.text1.focus()'>
<div class="mail">
<h2>Input an Phone No.[xxxxxxxxxx] and Submit</h2>
<form name="form1" action="#">
<ul>
<li><input type='text' name='text1'/></li>
<li>&nbsp;</li>
<li class="submit"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onclick="phonenumber(document.form1.text1)"/></li>
<li>&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</form>
</div>
<script src="phoneno-all-numeric-validation.js"></script>
</body>

JavaScript: Tips of the Day

How to insert an item into an array at a specific index (JavaScript)?

What you want is the splice function on the native array object.

arr.splice(index, 0, item); will insert item into arr at the specified index (deleting 0 items first, that is, it's just an insert). In this example we will create an array and add an element to it into index 2:

var arr = [];
arr[0] = "Jani";
arr[1] = "Hege";
arr[2] = "Stale";
arr[3] = "Kai Jim";
arr[4] = "Borge";

console.log(arr.join());
arr.splice(2, 0, "Lene");
console.log(arr.join());
