You should pass the “this” value, here a DOM object reference, as argument 
to the function:

<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Functions_and_function_scope>

<http://jibbering.com/faq/>
<http://PointedEars.de/faq>

And do not use the RegExp flag “g(lobal)” with RegExp.prototype.test(), as 
it is a wrapper around RegExp.prototype.exec() [ES 5.1, § 15.10.6.3]:

  var rx = /x/g;

  /* true */
  rx.test("x")
  
  /* false */
  rx.test("x")

  /* true */
  rx.test("x")

That another /RegularExpressionLiteral/ creates a new RegExp object is a 
change from ECMAScript Ed. 3 to 5 [Annex E]; do not rely on it unless you 
know what you are doing.
