I am trying to get the value from an input box, validate & format the number, then update the input field.
I want it to validate all Australian phone numbers (mobile and landline)
formatting mobile numbers to
04XX XXX XXX
and Landline numbers to
(0X) XXXX XXXX
var phone_number = $("#phone").val();
//validate mobile number
var formatted = phone_number.replace(/(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})/, '$1-$2-$3');
//replace number
$("#phone").val(formatted);
Any help would be awesome :)
You can use the same regex/replace logic you have suggested.
html
Mobile:<input id = "mobile" type = "tel" maxlength=8></input>
Landline:<input id = "landline" type = "tel" maxlength=10></input>
jquery
$("#mobile").blur(function(){
var mobile_ele = $("#mobile");
var mobileNum = mobile_ele.val();
var formattedNum = mobileNum.replace(/(\d{2})(\d{3})(\d{3})/g,"04$1 $2 $3");
mobile_ele.val(formattedNum);
});
$("#landline").blur(function(){
var landline_ele = $("#landline");
var landlineNum = mobile_ele.val();
var formattedNum = landlineNum.replace(/(\d{2})(\d{4})(\d{4})/g,"($1) $2 $3");
mobile_ele.val(formattedNum);
});

I came up with 1 solution, not convinced how optimal it is, but someone may want to elaborate on it.
function validatePhoneNumber(phone_number){
var formatted = "";
//remove all non-digits
phone_number = phone_number.replace(/\D/g,'');
//if number starts with 61, replace 61 with 0
if (phone_number.match(/^61/)){
phone_number = "0"+phone_number.slice(2);
}
if (phone_number.match(/^04/)){
if (phone_number.length === 10){
var formatted = phone_number.replace(/(\d{4})(\d{3})(\d{3})/g,"$1 $2 $3");
} else {
alert('Invalid phone number');
}
} else if (phone_number.match(/^02|03|07|08/)){
if (phone_number.length === 10) {
var formatted = phone_number.replace(/(\d{2})(\d{4})(\d{4})/g,"($1) $2 $3");
} else {
alert('Invalid phone number');
}
} else if (phone_number.length === 8){
alert('Please use Area Code for landline numbers');
} else {
alert('Invalid phone number');
}
//update
$("#phone").val(formatted);
}
