Javascript Phone Number Vailidation

[lei]

i am wondering if anyone knows of a script that i won't have to edit (i'm not good at scripting) that can be used to validate a phone number in a form....we are running into issues with people not entering valid information in the phone number field....

thank you

Is there a length that the number has to be? Basically what would be considered valid?

it should of course be numerical and contain an area code...10 digits at the very least

Apple has a really good article on form validation, that has downloadable code to go with it:

You know, much as I maintain my irrational dislike of the company, their developer site is really good.

The regexlib.com (http://www.regexlib.com/DisplayPatterns.aspx?cattabindex=6&categoryId=7) site may prove helpful as it offers a range of suggested regular expression (regex) patterns which can be used when validating a range of form data types including telephone numbers.

Additionally, I'd recommend displaying a correctly formatted, sample telephone number next to the telephone entry field(s).
