Mandatory fields are accepting spaces, without having to enter any character for html type field.

[HaripriyaG98623]

Hello,

I'm working on a requirement where user should not be able to enter empty spaces to a mandatory html type field, but should be able to give characters, special characters, number, images. I have 9 mandatory fields and I'm using a Reusable Validation Functions that is called 9 times. Now my issue is, its allowing characters, special characters, numbers but not the images. 

Here is the reusable function script I'm using to validate characters, special characters, numbers:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function onLoad() {

    window.validateField = function(fieldName) {

        var fieldValue = g_form.getValue(fieldName).trim();

        var textOnlyValue = fieldValue.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '').trim();

        var fieldLabel = g_form.getLabel(fieldName).innerText || g_form.getLabel(fieldName).textContent;

        if (textOnlyValue === '' || textOnlyValue === ' ') {

            alert(fieldLabel + ' cannot be empty or contain only spaces.');

            g_form.setValue(fieldName, '');

            return false;

        }

        var regex = /^[a-zA-Z0-9\s.,!?'"\\/]*$/;

        if (!regex.test(textOnlyValue)) {

            alert(fieldLabel + ' cannot be empty. Please enter data into the field.');

            g_form.setValue(fieldName, '');

            return false;

        }

        var cleanedValue = fieldValue.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim();

        if (fieldValue !== cleanedValue) {

            g_form.setValue(fieldName, cleanedValue);

        }

        return true;

    };

}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have now modified this script to allow images or attachments and its not working :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function onLoad() {

    window.validateField = function(fieldName) {

        var fieldValue = g_form.getValue(fieldName).trim();

        var textOnlyValue = fieldValue.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, '').trim();

        var fieldLabel = g_form.getLabel(fieldName).innerText || g_form.getLabel(fieldName).textContent;

        if (textOnlyValue === '' || textOnlyValue === ' ') {

            alert(fieldLabel + ' cannot be empty or contain only spaces.');

            g_form.setValue(fieldName, '');

            return false;

        }

        var regex = /^[a-zA-Z0-9\s.,!?'"\\/&*+_=-:;<>[\](){}|`~^$#%@]*$/;

        if (!regex.test(textOnlyValue)) {

            alert(fieldLabel + ' cannot be empty. Please enter data into the field.');

            g_form.setValue(fieldName, '');

            return false;

        }

        var htmlTagsAllowed = fieldValue.replace(/<[^>]+>/g, function(tag) {

            if (tag.toLowerCase().includes('<img')) {

                return tag;

            }

            return '';

        });

        if (htmlTagsAllowed !== fieldValue) {

            g_form.setValue(fieldName, htmlTagsAllowed);

        }

        var cleanedValue = fieldValue.replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim();

        if (fieldValue !== cleanedValue) {

            g_form.setValue(fieldName, cleanedValue);

        }

        return true;

    };

}

 Any guidance or support is much appreciated.

Thank you,
