alright, whats wrong with my script, JShint is throwing three lines of red code saying i have issues in my variable and my if/else statement. I am trying to validate if the phone number is a valid USA phone format
$( "#phone" ).focusout(function telephone() {
if( this.value === "" || this.value === null ) {
$( "#error_messages" ).text("");
return false;
} else {
var re = \d{3}[\-]\d{3}[\-]\d{4};
if(re.test(document.getElementById("phone").value)) {
$( "#error_messages" ).text("");
return true;
} else {
$( "#error_messages" ).text("Phone Number* not a valid format xxx-xxx-xxxx");
return false;
}
}
});
