Input text pattern for telephone number

[nadiam]

Hello, i know this question has been asked a million times but I just cant seem to get it right. I googled and found this and tried to use the pattern given but still the pop up still shows. I don't know what im doing wrong but its getting frustrating as obviously it worked for the person but not for me unfortunately.

<input type="tel" name="phone" placeholder="+60##-#######" pattern="/^(7|8|9)\d{9}$/" title="7878787878" required>

as you can see what i wanted is a pattern for +60##-####### but couldn't figure it out so as i said i tested with the one from the link but when i enter 7878787878 the pop up still says, "please follow requested format" although this pattern worked for the person.

i tried my own pattern /^(+60)\d{2}\(-)\d{7}$/, entered an invalid pattern and no pop up came out. please help me. and thank you in advance.

Try without the delimiters and boundaries

Try

^(\+\d{1,2}\s)?\(?\d{3}\)?[\s.-]\d{3}[\s.-]\d{4}$

okay so i removed the slashes and it worked. so i tried to put in the pattern that i actually wanted which is a pattern like [phone] but i only achieved 12-3456789. how do i make it so that +60 has to be entered and in that order +60.

what i have:

<input type="tel" name="phone" placeholder="[phone]" pattern="^[1-9]\d{1}-[0-9]\d{6}$" title="[phone]" required>

I did this:

<input type="tel" name="phone" placeholder="[phone]" pattern="^[+](6)(0)[1-9]\d{1}-[0-9]\d{6}$" title="[phone]" required>

it works.. but is there a better way? or this is the way?
