SOLUTION FOR PROVIDING REAL-TIME VALIDATION OF TEXT INPUT FIELDS USING REGULAR EXPRESSION EVALUATION DURING TEXT ENTRY

摘要

The present invention discloses a system for providing real-time validation of text input fields in a Web page during text entry. Such a system can include a validation-enhanced text input element and an input text validator. The validation-enhanced text input element can be configured to contain a validation expression for a text field in a Web page. The validation-enhanced text input element can be contained in the source code document that corresponds to the Web page. The input text validator can be configured to validate a character entered into the text field against the validation expression in real-time. Characters determined as invalid can be visually indicated by the input text validator in the text field.
