Yo all! ^_^

I'm trying to make a reg exp that will match a users inputed time. I want the RE to match a string like 8:00am or 12:00pm. My version of the RE is as follows:

(Toggle Plain Text)

var regEx = new RegExp ("(1-12):(0)*(0-60)(am|pm)")

But...of course...it dosen't work. It ALWAYS returns false. (I'm not great with RE...

) Can I get some help? And just to point out, I want the test to fail if it is not in the form (x)x:xx(am|pm).

Thanks a lot! ^_^
