I'll go ahead and recommend RegexBuddy ( http://www.regexbuddy.com/ ) as another useful tool for testing regexes. (No affiliation, this just happens to be one of the most useful programs I've bought with my own money.)

Nice work! :) http://rubular.com is also a good one (Ruby regexes).

It makes use of a hidden Java applet -- so it supports the somewhat larger Java regex syntax, doesn't send your data anywhere else for matching, and can hook into the string-probing to animate the process. (Click the 'animate?' link to show the animation step/speed controls.)
For example, you can watch the regex that tests whether a number is prime (by failing) or composite (by succeeding) via these two animations:
49: http://regex.powertoy.org/?pat=/^1%3F%24|^%2811+%3F%29\1+%24...
47: http://regex.powertoy.org/?pat=/^1%3F%24|^%2811+%3F%29\1+%24...
Is the applet requirement a deal-breaker for casual use? I might be able to feed the OpenJDK 7 regex classes through the Google Java->JS cross-compiler to get a pure-JS solution with the same syntax/animation capabilities.
Would be great if there were support for more Regex types. All those supported by grep (ie. BRE, PRE, PCRE) seem fairly essential – and being a Python guy, Python would be nice too (which are PCRE-ish). Nice work, though.

I was gonna recommend this as well, then I saw your comment, and then I saw your username, and then it got really weird .
