I am having issues with getting a "Phone Number" input validated. I have written the regex pattern to require 10 numbers, but even when I plug in 10 numbers into the input field, I still get the error message: "Please match the requested format" and can't seem to figure out why this is.
All help and advice is greatly appreciated!
<input type="text" id="number" name="number" pattern="/^\d{10}$/" required>
Here is a code example from this page: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_form_input_types.asp
You can directly do it with an in-build functionality of HTML.
Just use the type type="tel" and you should be good to go.
if you want 10 consecutive numbers without - you can also do: pattern="[0-9]{10}"
<form>
<label for="phone">Enter your phone number:</label>
<input type="tel" id="phone" name="phone" pattern="[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{3}">
</form>
Just place you're input in a <form> and hit submit. It should now match.
I don't believe you need the forward slashes in your regex pattern here.
Try this:
<input type="text" id="number" name="number" pattern="^\d{10}$" required>

if we uses "tel" in input then we can give max or min length for the input but its drawback is it may take all kind of inputs whether it is numeric or alphabets,
And if we uses "number" for input then it takes only number but we can not give it min-max characters limit.
Even though I have mentioned pattern inside it but no change.
So is there any alternate for the same to give max-min length and can take only numeric?
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleFormControlInput3">Mobile Number</label>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-text" id="basic-addon1">+91</span>
<input type="tel" class="form-control" id="exampleFormControlInput3" maxlength="10" placeholder="012-345-6789" pattern="[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{3}">
</div>
</div>
Note: I have used bootstrap5 for the same.
You using input type tel and can make a mix with javascript if you want avoid completely alphabetic characters. The type tel provides pattern to but it validate afterwards. And not every browser will supported.
<label for="phone">Enter your phone number:</label>
<input type="tel" id="phone" name="phone"
maxlength ="6"
pattern="[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}"
oninput="this.value = this.value.replace(/[^0-9.]/g, '').replace(/(\..*?)\..*/g, '$1');"
required>
<small>Format: 123-456</small>

Semantically using type="number" is incorrect. You should be only using type='tel'. If you want fine control over what the user inputs, you should be using a pattern for that.
<input type="tel" id="phone" name="phone"
pattern="[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}"
required>

I use HTML5 patter to validate address field input. Here is example of my code:
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="address1" id="address1" value="" maxlength="40" required>
I would like to use pattern attribute to prevent PO box in the address field. Can anyone help me achieve that with patter regex?
Use a pattern with a negative lookahead. See Regular expression to match a line that doesn't contain a word and replace the word in those patterns with the pattern that matches box followed by a number.
.*(?![Bb][Oo][Xx]\s+\d)
<form>
<input type="text" pattern="((?![Bb][Oo][Xx]\s+\d).)*">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
how to use ng-mask for validation of phone number having pattern (xxx)xxx-xxxx . I tried using "pattern" in the input html tag but not satisfied with the result
because each time when user enters the phone number, the user must type both '()' and '-',and this will make the user annoying. So suggest a way to overcome this.
<input type="tel" name="phoneno" maxlength=13 ng-model="phone.number" pattern="^(?:\(\d{3}\)|\d{3}-)\d{3}-\d{4}$" required/></div>
This should work:
<input type="text" ng-model="phone.number" name="phone" mask="(999) 999-9999" clean="true" ng-model="phone">
I want to create a form, where user can enter Email and 4 digit PIN. For PIN input I would like to use <input type="number"> instead of regex, but I don't know how to hide entered digits.
Use the type password and HTML maxlength property:
<input type="password" name="pin" maxlength="4">
http://jsfiddle.net/skxr9o47/
This would require some JavaScript validation to ensure a number was entered.
An alternative way would be to use HTML 5 and take advantage of the number type (As you already have done) or the pattern attribute and validate it inside your form.
<form>
<input type="text" name="pin" pattern="[0-9]{4}" maxlength="4">
<input type="submit" value="Validate">
</form>
http://jsfiddle.net/L6n9b5nr/
However, you would have to use JavaScript or jQuery to use mask the user's input.
Use inputmode numeric and password input
For Android and iOS you can also add inputmode="numeric" to an input type="password". The user will get a keyboard with only numbers (the same keyboard as used for the input type="tel").
Example:
<input name="pincode" type="password" inputmode="numeric" maxlength="4">
Use a style and text input
Another option that doesn't work in every browser, is to hide the digits via the style in an input type="text". Example:
<style>
.pincode {
text-security: disc;
-webkit-text-security: disc;
-moz-text-security: disc;
}
</style>
<input name="pincode" type="text" class="pincode" inputmode="numeric" maxlength="4">
I feel like no one actually fully answered the question, I've combined this code from multiple posts regarding this questions and this is what I use. 4 digit max, hidden input, only numbers and number pad is showing on both android and ios.
<input
type="number"
id="password"
name="password"
pattern="[0-9]{4}"
maxlength="4"
style="-webkit-text-security: disc;"
oninput="javascript: if (this.value.length > this.maxLength) this.value = this.value.slice(0, this.maxLength);"
/>
Note that -webkit-text-security is not supported in Firefox or IE.
if you use the input field with password type, the digit should be shown as bullet points instead of the actual number.
<form action="">
Username: <input type="text" name="user"><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="password">
</form>
how to write pattern for input type="text" (it can't be number and the validation can't be with JS) that allow me to enter only numbers, min:1 and max:5000?
<input type="text" name="someName" id="someId" required pattern=""/>
Here you go - not an input with type="number" and no JS:
<input type="text" name="someName" id="someId" required="required"
pattern="(5000|([1-4][0-9][0-9][0-9])|([1-9][0-9][0-9])|([1-9][0-9])|[1-9])"/>
The basic pattern is to match 5000 or 4-digit number or 3-digit number or 2-digit number or non-zero 1-digit number.
If you can accept 0, the pattern can be even simpler:
(5000|([1-4]?[0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?))
You can use the predefined min and max attribute for input type="number" as follows,
<input type="number" min=0 max=10>
<input type="submit">
Here is an example
The error for incorrect input will be displayed when you try to submit the form
Let me know if this works :)
<input type="number">
