JQuery Validation - Check if the textbox has special character

Question

How can I validate the textbox Name does not include '@'?

 rules: {
            Name: {
                required: true,

            },
            Email: {
                required: true,
                email: true
            },
            Password1: {
                minlength: 6
            },
 }

Validation already implemented by somebody else. I don't want sth like alert box to pop up now. — Jude, Mar 05 '14 at 12:58
Where is your `HTML` and `JavaScript`? What have your tried to do already? — Pavlo, Mar 05 '14 at 13:00
you want something like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/280759/jquery-validate-how-to-add-a-rule-for-regular-expression-validation — Charles380, Mar 05 '14 at 13:02
very unclear question.. to check for a @ symbol, u can just use indexof.. ` if ( $('#textBoxID').val().indexOf('@') == -1) ){ //no @ symbol } ` — JF it, Mar 05 '14 at 13:03
Already? Nothing. Just thought how to include this in the validate function: ($('#PName').val().indexOf("@@") != -1) — Jude, Mar 05 '14 at 13:03

Try the pattern rule

rules: {
    Name: {
        required: true,
        pattern: /^[^@]+$/
    },
    Email: {
        required: true,
        email: true
    },
    Password1: {
        minlength: 6
    },
},
messages: {
    Name: {
        pattern: 'Name should not contain @'
    }
}

Demo: Fiddle

I just needed to double the '@' as this is razor. – Jude Mar 05 '14 at 13:08
