EMAIL validation doesn't work...

perryair · May 30, 2005

Hi...
I am having problem with my script, I just added the email validation script and it does not work with the standard
one...

please help...

<html dir="ltr">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1255">
<title>Send email</title>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">


</script>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

var testresults
function checkemail(){
var str=document.validation.emailcheck.value
var filter=/^([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)@((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$/i
if (filter.test(str))
testresults=true
else{
alert("Please input a valid email address!")
testresults=false
}
return (testresults)
}
</script>

<script>
function checkbae(){
if (document.layers||document.getElementById||document.all)
return checkemail()
else
return true
}
</script>

</head>

<body>
<form name="validation" onSubmit="return validateForm(); checkbae();">
 <p>First Name:<br>
<input type="text" size=18 name="fname">  </p>
<p>Please input a valid email address:<br>
<input type="text" size=18 name="emailcheck">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>

</body>

</html>

Change your validation script to something like this:

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

function validateForm(myValidation)
{
if(myValidation.fname.value.length == 0)
{
alert("Please enter first name");
myValidation.fname.focus();
return false;
}

var str=myValidation.emailcheck.value
var filter=/^([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)@((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$/i
if (filter.test(str))
{
return true;
}
else
{
alert("Please input a valid email address!");
myValidation.emailcheck.focus();
return false;
}
}
</script>

Then change your form tag to this:

Code:

<form name="validation" onSubmit="return validateForm(this)">

Now you validate function will check both items at the same time and you'll reduce the amount of code needed to perform the validation.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
