Special characters validation issue

Question

Hi, in my Acrobat form I'm using script below to validate if user type minimum one character or number in field. If user type first Polish special character (ex. ą, ć, ę, ł, ó, ń, ż, ź) script show error alert.How to avoid issue with special characters (or edit script that not the first character must be letter or number but field must contain minimum one character or number)? if (event.value) {
if (/^[a-z,A-Z,0-9]*$/.test(event.value)==false) {
app.alert("Insert letter or number");
event.rc = false;
this.getField("name").required = true;
}else{
this.getField("name").required = false;
}
}

What is this script supposed to do? The first test is whether the field contains a value.  Any character typed will be minimum of 1.  Are you trying to alert the user if only a space is typed?
