I believe it's the apostrophe cos its a valid deliminator in HTML, thanks for your suggestion (I bet it works!) ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Java To: Tapestry users Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2013 2:04 PM Subject: Re: validate regexp=^[A-Za-z0-9 ']+$ in template problem
Your regex looks fine to me, perhaps tapestry is having troubles parsing the string to a list of validators. I wonder if the space character is the cause? Tapestry allows you to specify regexes in prop files. Try this: template: <input t:type="TextField" t:id="firstname" t:value="firstName" validate="required,regexp" /> prop file: firstname-regexp=^[A-Za-z0-9 ']+$ On 23 May 2013 13:50, "John" <j...@quivinco.com> wrote: > how can my validate regexp contain an apostrophe please? > > regards, > John > > 102 <input t:type="TextField" t:id="firstname" t:value="firstName" > 103 validate="required,regexp=^[A-Za-z0-9 ']+$" /> > > > Unexpected character ''' at position 29 of input string: > required,regexp=^[A-Za-z0-9 ']+$
