[jQuery] Re: Password validation works in FF3 but not in IE6

[dk]

Turns out that the "positive look ahead" syntax (?=.*\d) is buggy in
IE6.

I have a workaround which is good enough: chaining together simpler
regular expressions:

return this.optional(element) || ( (/^[^\W]*$/.test(value)) && (/^.
{8,255}$/.test(value)) && (/[a-z]+/.test(value)) && (/[A-Z]
+/.test(value)) && (/[\d]+/.test(value)) );

[jQuery] [validate] Password validation works in FF3 but not in IE6

[dk]

Thanks for a great validation plugin!

Writing my first custom validation:


  $(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.validator.addMethod("adminPwd", function(value,
element) {
return this.optional(element) || /^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?
=.*[A-Z])(?!.*\s)(?!.*\W).{8,255}$/.test(value);
}, "The password must contain lower case, upper case and
number(s) and be at least 8 characters");
$('#userForm').validate();
  });


The aim is that the password must contain at least one lower case, one
upper case and one number. Spaces are not allowed. Lenght at least 8
characters

This works in FF3 but not in IE6. I suspect some regular expression
incompability in IE6 but I don't know how to debug it to pinpoint
exactly which part of the RE fails.

Any workarounds would be appretiated!
