JS file upload whitespace (space) check

[sotusotusotu]

Hi guys,

I am trying to find out if there is a way of checking if a file a file that I am trying to upload has any spaces in its name. If true then I just want to display an alert telling the user to rename the file.

Can this be acheived in JS and if so can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Something like this

<form onsubmit="return validate(this);">
  File<br />
  <input type="file" name="file" value="" /><br />
  <input type="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

function validate(form)
  if (/\s/.test(form.elements.file.value)) {
    alert('The filename can not contain whitespace. Please rename the file.');
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}

Thanks for the reply Dok.

MY Firebug gives me an error on this line:

if (/\s/.test(form.elements.file.value)) {

Any ideas to why?

Missed a curly bracket...

function validate(form) {
  if (/\s/.test(form.elements.file.value)) {
    alert('The filename can not contain whitespace. Please rename the file.');
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}
