JavaScript email validation
⇧
We can validate the email by the help of JavaScript.
There are many criteria that need to be follow to validate the email id such as:
email id must contain the @ and . character
There must be at least one character before and after the @.
There must be at least two characters after . (dot).
Let's see the simple example to validate the email field.
<script>
function validateemail()
{
var x=document.myform.email.value;
var atposition=x.indexOf("@");
var dotposition=x.lastIndexOf(".");
if (atposition<1 || dotposition<atposition+2 || dotposition+2>=x.length){
alert("Please enter a valid e-
mail address \n atpostion:"+atposition+"\n dotposition:"+dotposition);
return false;
}
}
</script>
<body>
<form name="myform" method="post" action="#" onsubmit="return validateemail();">
Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br/>
<input type="submit" value="register">
</form>
