Hi all,

i'm a newbie to javascript and I am trying to use it to validate some user input data for a html form. I am stuck on checking if the user has input a time value in the correct format hh:mm:ss

so far i've got

var regTime = /^\d{2}\:\d{0-5}\d\:\d{0-5}\d$/

i'm trying mkae it so that 2 digits are followed by a colon, then a digit less than 6, a digit,a colon,a digit less than 6 and another digit. I've tried lots of variations but can't seem to find the right one. I know it's the 'digit between 0 and 5' that won't work and the expression above is rejected by the browser. Any ideas???

How about this?

var regTime = /^\d{2}:[0-5]\d:[0-5]\d$/
