I have a long list of regular expressions for various form fields I'm checking. My question is, if I want to apply two or more of these RE's to one of these fields, how do I go about doing that? Thanks.

Well... probably best to nest them (without knowing anything more about the scenario)...

Code: 
if (regExp1.test(myString) && regExp2.test(myString)) {
// both regexp patterns returned true
} else {
// one (or both) regexp patterns returned false
}

Cheers,
Jeff
