Validating Text Field in IP address Format

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by lawix10 334

I have a requirement to validate a text field to an IP address format,

I have seen the java script , and i have created the web resource but the validation fails even when I type a correct IP address. Here is the code below

function format_ipaddress(fieldName)
{
	 var ipaddress = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(fieldName).getValue();
     var ipformat =/^(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)$/; 	
		
	if ((ipaddress != "") && (ipaddress != null))
	{
	   if (ipaddress == ipformat) 
	{
		ipaddress = ipaddress;
	}
		else 
		{
			alert ("Invalid IP address format");
			ipaddress = "000.000.000.000";	
		}
		
		Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(fieldName).setValue(ipaddress);
	}
}


Even if I type a correct IP address i still get an Invalid Ip address format.

Is something wrong with the regex expression.

Regards.

    Hi

    You can check following method.I got it from following blog.

    www.w3resource.com/.../ip-address-validation.php

    1. function ValidateIPaddress(inputText)  
    2.  {  
    3.  var ipformat = /^(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)$/;  
    4.  if(inputText.value.match(ipformat))  
    5.  {  
    6.  document.form1.text1.focus();  
    7.  return true;  
    8.  }  
    9.  else  
    10.  {  
    11.  alert("You have entered an invalid IP address!");  
    12.  document.form1.text1.focus();<br>return false;  
    13.  }  
    14.  }  

    Mark asnwer as verified, if it works for you.

    Hi
    Please try the following:


    function format_ipaddress(fieldName) {
    var ipaddress = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(fieldName).getValue();
    var ipformat = /^(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)$/;

    if ((ipaddress != "") && (ipaddress != null)) {
        if (!ipaddress.match(ipformat)) {
            Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("Invalid IP address format", null)
            ipaddress = "000.000.000.000";
            Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get(fieldName).setValue(ipaddress);
        }
    }
}
