#5 'Word' match not working properly

[Anonymous]

When trying to perform form validation with the type
'word', the regex incorrectly fails unless the input
string is either a single 'word' character or multiple
'word' characters and a space (I have NO idea why it
works when you add a space).

If you change the regex in line 201 of formval.js from
/\W/ to /^\w+$/, it seems to work as intended.

201: if(cons['word'] && !mjs_match(value,/^\w+$/))

Hope this helps,

Thanks for issuing this bug report.

Actually, not only the 'word' mode is broken; 'alpha' and
'alnum' are also unfunctional due to a wrong logic in
testing the matching code:

if(cons['word'] && !mjs_match(value,/\W/))

should have been:

if(cons['word'] && mjs_match(value,/\W/))
