The javascript

var val = "06/06/2007";
var re = /^[0-9 \/:]*$/ig;
document.write(re.test(val) + '<br>');
document.write(re.test(val) + '<br>');
document.write(re.test(val) + '<br>');

prints "true false true". Since neither val or re has changed, I expect re.test(val) to always return true.

Reproducible: Always
