Can anyone help me with this regex? I need something which will ALLOW:

0-9
a-z
A-Z
spaces
hyphens
apostrophes

But disallow all other special characters.

I've got this, but it's not working:

regex:/^[0-9a-zA-Z/ /-'_]+$/,

Thanks for any help!

You should remove the double quotes around the regex:

regex: /^[0-9a-zA-Z -'_]+$/,

Also make sure you use backslashes to escape special characters, not forward slashes.
