You can easily validate a TextBox against a phone number format, in JavaScript, using Regular Expressions (RegEx):
<script type=“text/javascript”> function FormValidate() { if(document.Form1.PhoneNumber.value.search(/\d{3}\-\d{3}\-\d{4}/)==-1) { alert(“The phone number you entered is not valid.\r\nPlease enter a phone number with the format xxx-xxx-xxxx.”); return false; } } </script>
And the HTML markup that works with this script, is:
The RegEx can be modified so that you can validate any other phone number format. For example, to validate a phone number with the format xxx-xxxx, simply use the RegEx string /\d{3}-\d{4}/.
