This post is more than 18 months old. Since technology changes too rapidly, this content may be out of date (but that's not always the case). Please remember to verify any technical or programming information with the current release.

jQuery.validator.addMethod("twitterhandle", 
  function(value) {
    if(value == "") return true;
    var pattern = /^\w{1,32}$/;
    var result = pattern.test(value);
    return result;
  }, 
  "Twitter handle only - no spaces, @, and not a URL."
);
