[thelist] Detecting HTML tags with Regular Expressions.

[Johnny Lam]

I'd like to know what is the actual Regular Expression pattern that would
match any html tags using Javascript. For example any html code between the
"<" and ">" or "</" and ">" characters. I'm trying to do a form validation
in which it will match any user's input, which can include html tags, and
compare it with another list of valid html tags they can use. Any help would
be great. Thanks.

Thank You! 
Johnny
