Uncaught TypeError: Object [object RegExp] has no method 'match'

Basically am ending up with the error on the console:

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object RegExp] has no method 'match'

This is the code that triggers the error:

addMember = function addMember(e) {
    console.log(e.target);
    var s1 = new SchoolAdmission();
    s1.name = document.getElementById('name').value;
    s1.age = document.getElementById('age').value;
    s1.department = document.getElementById('department').value;
    s1.display(e.target.id);
};

validate = function validate(e) {

    if (nameInput.value == "") {
        (errorInput).innerHTML = "Please fill all columns";
        validation = false;
    }
    else if (!nameInput.match(charFilter)) {
        (errorInput).innerHTML = "Please enter only alphabets";
        validation = false;
    }

    if (ageInput.value == "") {
        (errorInput).innerHTML = "Please fill all columns";
        validation = false;
    }
    else if (!ageInput.match(numberFilter)) {
        (errorInput).innerHTML = "Please enter only numbers";
        validation = false;
    }

    if (validation) {
        addMember(e);
    }
};

I have made a validation for my app that am building. I have just applied it on the "Add Student" button for now and move it on to the "Add Teacher" later on.

<button id="addStudent" class="btn btn-success" onclick="validate(event)">Add Student</button>

Here's my fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/LPu9x/6/

My issues are :

1) Resolving this error.

2) Is my validation method right?

nameInput is dom object so it does not have the match method, you need to get the value of the input then use .match

nameInput.value.match(charFilter)
