Phone Number Validation Javascript

Hi I am creating validation for a form using javascript. I am wanting to check the telephone number field using if statements to ensure it contains a 4 digit area code then a space followed by a 7 digit number.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

    *then a space*?! Don't make your users format their phone numbers. Ignore (or rather strip) spaces, parentheses, hyphens etc, then format it yourself. – Quentin Jan 17 '13 at 17:03

  • Phone number structures vary from place to place. If you limit yourself to 11 digit phone numbers then you will upset anyone who tries to use a phone number from another country. It usually isn't a good idea to limit yourself that way. – Quentin Jan 17 '13 at 17:04

So you need to validate something like 1234 1234567

function isValidTel(numberToTest){
    var pattern =/^\d{4} \d{7}$/
    return pattern.test(numberToTest);
}
