All Objects
RegExp Object
PROPERTY: RegExp::input
This property is a string against which a regular expression is matched. Input is static and is therefore always used as
RegExp.input
. If this property has a value, that value is used by default as the argument of the
exec
and
test
methods, unless another argument is provided. When no argument is provided with these methods, the script or browser can preset the
input
method as follows:
Where a TEXT form element calls an event handler, it is set to the value of the contained text.
Where a TEXTAREA form element calls an event handler, it is set to the value of the contained text and the
multiline
property is set to true so that the match can be executed throughout the text.
Where a SELECT form element calls an event handler, it is set to the value of the selected text.
Use the
href
property to change a link. Where a
Link
object calls an event handler, it is set to the value of the text between the <A> tags.
The value of
input
clears after the event handler completes.
