pattern search in java script.

function CheckAlphabetic(formElement)
{
value = formElement.value;
var alphaPattern = /\d/;
if (!alphaPattern.test(value))
{
return(true);
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
im using this function to check if a name has 'digits' in it. "alphapattern.test(value)" can be replaced by ".match(value)" also. Is there someothr method to do tht?? Also other than "match,test" wht are all the methods can var(alphapattern) use?

var alphaPattern = /\d/;
that's not even going to compile.

but its working fine..and my app uses tht fn to check digits in names.
