What do you mean by "not working properly"?

If you meant "its not opening", I have checked on firefox as well as IE and I am able to open the given link.

Hi Ankur,
I enterd as
Regular Expression:[A-Za-z]*
&Test String:abc123
then When I click on the test button its showing as
Test Results: True
It should be False.Bcoz the string contain numaric values.

It is giving correct result.

Regular Expression:[A-Za-z]* means match capital A-Z or small a-z 0 or more times so even if you have 123 instead of abc it will pass.

Change it to [A-Za-z]+ (match capital A-Z or small a-z 1 or more times) and you will see that a123 would be "True" but 123 would yield "false"
