Hi All,

I want to validate a form field which allows alpha numeric characters and only few accented character like á,é,í,ó,ú. I have used the following regex to validate this. But the regex works for alpha numeric characters. It does not work for accented characters. Could you please help.

Thanks,

Jeanne Boyarsky,



r.test(s) returns false, though it is part of regex, So i have used html char codes for validating accented characters.
