regular expression validation for url

[navinprakash]

Hi all,

Please help in validating url like -
www.domainame.com
And it should not check for (http://) using regular expression.
I am trying but finding difficult to solve it

if(/www\.[a-z0-9][a-z0-9\-]{0,61}[a-z0-9]\.[a-z\.{2,6}]$/gi.test(url.value)) { // return true

This permits but does not require characters (such as http://) before the www.

The only valid characters for a domain name are letters, numbers and a hyphen "-". Hyphens may be anywhere in the middle of a name, but can not be located at the end or beginning of a name. A valid domain name does not have spaces. The domain name without the extension can be up to 63 characters.
