[SOLVED] Regular expression problem

[garethhall]

Hello I have the  code below and all works great but my name and phone filter doesn't seem to do a very good job. If you place number in the middle of a name it still validate and the same goes for the phone number but with letter in the middle?

// Validation Filters
var emailReg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\@([A-Za-z0-9_\-\.])+\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/;
var nameReg = /[A-Za-z\'\-]/;
var phoneReg = /[0-9\(\)\-\+ ]{7,16}/;

function liveValidation(frmName, fieldName, fieldWhat, apprvMK, rejectMK){
var varReg;
if(fieldWhat == "email"){
	varReg = emailReg;
}else if (fieldWhat == "name"){
	varReg = nameReg;
}else{
	varReg = phoneReg;
}
var fieldVar  = document.forms[frmName].elements[fieldName].value;
var fieldVarName  = document.forms[frmName].elements[fieldName].name

	if(!fieldVar.match(varReg)){
		document.getElementById("spn_"+fieldVarName).innerHTML = "<img src='"+rejectMK+"' width='12' height='12' />";
	}else{
		document.getElementById("spn_"+fieldVarName).innerHTML = "<img src='"+apprvMK+"' width='12' height='12' />";
	}
}

I'm going to assume a standard phone number is 10-digits long - (xxx) xxx-xxxx or xxx-xxx-xxxx.

 

var nameReg = /^[a-z]+$/;
var phoneReg = /^(\(\d{3}\)|\d{3})\s?\-?\d{3}\-?\d{4}$/;
