the regular expression says: the input field 'ptv_test' needs to have
at least one character as input for  a succesful post to the PTV
'test'. So putting in nothing will trigger the foxcheck response:
giving you the erro message and prohibiting the posting.
Even entering a space will not trigger the input error.

So if you want to allow empty input, to clear the PTV, then why the
foxcheck, or why that regex which wants at least one character?
Maybe i do not understand what you are trying to achieve with this
foxcheck.
