Email Validator Script in JS
Here is a simple function in Javascript (JS) which uses regular expression to tests whether the given string matches to a valid email patters.
The JS built-in function used here is test().
Use the function given below to validate Email address
<script>
function EmailValidator(str) {
var emailText = str;
var pattern = /^[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+)*@[a-z0-9]+(\-[a-z0-9]+)*(\.[a-z0-9]+(\-[a-z0-9]+)*)*\.[a-z]{2,4}$/;
if (pattern.test(emailText)) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
</script>
The above given function will return TRUE if email is valid else return FALSE
Function usage:
<script>
if( !validateEmail(document.form.txt_email.value) ){
alert("Please enter a valid Email address");
document.form.txt_email.focus();
return false;
}
</script>
if you are familiar with HTML5 you can use this:
<form>
<input type="email_address" pattern="^[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+)*@[a-z0-9]+(\-[a-z0-9]+)*(\.[a-z0-9]+(\-[a-z0-9]+)*)*\.[a-z]{2,4}$">
<input type="submit">
</form>
The test() method tests for a match in a string and returns true if it finds a match, otherwise it returns false.

var dot = emailToTest.indexOf(".");
