convert value to String

[novice2004]

How do I convert value from text field to String so I can match it with reg.expresion.
Thank you.


validatePhone(form.elements["phone"].value);


function validatePhone(phone){
phone_array = phone.match(myRE);

If you are calling the function exactly as you say, like this:

validatePhone(form.elements["phone"].value);

Then your function should work properly. The variable "phone" that is passed in will already be a text string containing the value of the form's phone element.
