javascript regex for special characters

Question

I m trying to create a validation for a password field which allows only the a-zA-Z0-9 characters and         amp      -   I can t seem to get the hang of it   What s the difference when using regex    a-zA-Z0-9 g and regex     a-zA-Z0-9   and which chars from         amp      -  are needed to be escaped   What I ve tried up to now is   var regex    a-zA-Z0-9          amp          - g   but with no success
