Validate US Zip Code using JavaScript

Here’s how to validate US Zip code using JavaScript. We will be using a Regular Expression to do so.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title>Validate US Zip Code in JavaScript</title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function IsValidZipCode(zip) {
            var isValid = /^[0-9]{5}(?:-[0-9]{4})?$/.test(zip);
            if (isValid)
                alert('Valid ZipCode');
            else {
                alert('Invalid ZipCode');
            }
        }
    </script>
</head>

<body>
<form>
<input id="txtZip" name="zip" type="text" /><br />
<input id="Button1" type="submit" value="Validate"
onclick="IsValidZipCode(this.form.zip.value)" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

The code above validates a US zip code based on both the five digit (12345) as well as nine-digit (12345-1234 ) schemes.

    Nice, but it doesn't validate the actual zip code, just the xxxxx-xxxx.

    Hi Excellent.. But it is not validating..
    just try with /\d{5}-\d{4}$|^\d{5}$/.test(zip)

    i made a slightly change and work for my

    function ValidateUSZipCode(zipcode)
    {
    var zipcodeformat = /^[0-9]{5}(?:-[0-9]{4})?$/;

    if(zipcode.match(zipcodeformat))
    {
    console.log("correct zip");
    }
    else
    {
    console.log("incorrect zip");
    return false;
    }
    }

    thanks!!
