Hi,

I have modified the script of willem slightly to exclude www. Check this.

var url=newValue;
var re = /^(http[s]?:\/\/){0,1}(www\.){0,1}[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,5}[\.]{0,1}/;
if(url.indexOf("www.") > -1 || !re.test(url)) {
    g_form.showFieldMsg('your field', 'invalid url');
    return false;
}

www also should not be accepted. Please help on this

Can you share the formats that should be accepted?

http and https are the accepted format

Ok, then you can try the script I provided.

var url = newValue;

var re = /^(http[s]?:\/\/){0,1}[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,5}[\.]{0,1}/;
if (url.indexOf("www.") > -1 || !re.test(url)) {
    g_form.showFieldMsg('your field', 'invalid url');
    return false;
}

Hi @Arun

Did you mark another answer as Correct by accident? I provided you with the complete regex and how to use it...

If it was by accident, can you please correct it.

If not, consider marking some answers as helpful to reward effort and time put in.
