javascript - Regex for Umlaut

Question

I am using JS Animated Contact Form with this line of validation regex:

rx:{".name":{rx:/^[a-zA-Z'][a-zA-Z-' ]+[a-zA-Z']?$/,target:'input'}, other fields...

I just found out, that I can't enter name like "Müller". The regex will not accept this. What do I have to do, to allow also Umlauts?

Answer 1

You should use in your regex unicode codes for characters, like u0080. For German language, I found following table:

Zeichen     Unicode
------------------------------
?, ?        u00c4, u00e4
?, ?        u00d6, u00f6
ü, ü        u00dc, u00fc
?           u00df
