Validation of URL

[dande Anusha]

Hi ,

we got requirement to check URL validation for one field.

I have written the below script , but it is always giving invalid URL (i am giving "https://development.service-now.com " for testing)

var url = g_form.getValue('u_link_to_training_materials');
//var re = /^(http[s]?:\/\/){0,1}(www\.){0,1}[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,5}[\.]{0,1}/;
var re = /^(?:http(s)?:\/\/)?[\w.-]+(?:\.[\w\.-]+)+[\w\-\._~:/?#[\]@!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=.]+$/ ;
if (!re.test(url)) {
alert("invalid url");
g_form.disableAttachments();
return false;
}

Please help me on this if anyone is having an idea on this type of requirement

Regards

Anusha

Hi,

sharing the script from the link I referred to

URL validation for a request form

var url = g_form.getValue('u_link_to_training_materials');
var re = /^(http[s]?:\/\/){0,1}(www\.){0,1}[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,5}[\.]{0,1}/;
if (!re.test(url)) {
  alert("invalid url");

g_form.disableAttachments();
    return false;
}

You can use following regex - recognizing URLs in most used formats such as:

• www.google.com
• http://www.google.com
• mailto:somebody@google.com
• somebody@google.com
• www.url-with-querystring.com/?url=has-querystring

var url = g_form.getValue('u_link_to_training_materials');
var re=/((([A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?:\/\/)?)(?:[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)?[A-Za-z0-9.-]+|(?:www.|[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)[A-Za-z0-9.-]+)((?:\/[\+~%\/.\w-_]*)?\??(?:[-\+=&;%@.\w_]*)#?(?:[\w]*))?)/;
if (!re.test(url)) {
	alert("invalid url");
	g_form.disableAttachments();
	return false;
}
