Searching for NetBIOS name HTML input pattern

Question

I want to add a pattern to one of my input tags, which checks, if the given input by the user is a correct NetBIOS name.

NetBIOS names can have a maximum amount of 15 characters. It can contains numbers and JUST upper case letters...

I've tried to solve this problem with the following code, but it does not work:

    pattern="/([A-Z0-9]{1,15})/"

Can somebody help?

You're assigning a string to pattern; you want to use a regex literal:

if(/^[A-Z0-9]{1,15)$/.test(string)) {
   ...
}

If the user clicks on the button "submit", the next page will open. I want, that the page do not change and that a hint will be displayed. That's the reason, why I want to use 'pattern=""'... – checker284 Nov 15 '13 at 14:46
That's not what you asked in your question... please edit the question or make a new one. – Vivin Paliath Nov 15 '13 at 14:47
