I\'m new to jQuery and was wondering how to use it to validate email addresses.
if($("input#email-address").getVerimailStatus() < 0) {
(incorrect code)
}
if($("input#email-address").getVerimailStatus() == 'error') {
(right code)
}
you should see this:jquery.validate.js,add it to your project
using it like this:
<input id='email' name='email' class='required email'/>
Validate email while typing, with button state handling.
$("#email").on("input", function(){
var email = $("#email").val();
var filter = /^([\w-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([\w-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$/;
if (!filter.test(email)) {
$(".invalid-email:empty").append("Invalid Email Address");
$("#submit").attr("disabled", true);
} else {
$("#submit").attr("disabled", false);
$(".invalid-email").empty();
}
});
<!-- Dont forget to include the jQuery library here -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#validate").keyup(function(){
var email = $("#validate").val();
if(email != 0)
{
if(isValidEmailAddress(email))
{
$("#validEmail").css({
"background-image": "url('validYes.png')"
});
} else {
$("#validEmail").css({
"background-image": "url('validNo.png')"
});
}
} else {
$("#validEmail").css({
"background-image": "none"
});
}
});
});
function isValidEmailAddress(emailAddress) {
var pattern = new RegExp(/^(("[\w-\s]+")|([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)|("[\w-\s]+")([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*))(@((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$)|(@\[?((25[0-5]\.|2[0-4][0-9]\.|1[0-9]{2}\.|[0-9]{1,2}\.))((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})\.){2}(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})\]?$)/i);
return pattern.test(emailAddress);
}
</script>

margin-top: 4px;

Landed here.....ended up here: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#valid-e-mail-address
...which provided the following regex:
/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$/
...which I found thanks to a note on the jQuery Validation plugin readme: https://github.com/jzaefferer/jquery-validation/blob/master/README.md#reporting-an-issue
So, the updated version of @Fabian's answer would be:
function IsEmail(email) {
var regex = /^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$/;
return regex.test(email);
}
Hope that helps
jQuery Function to Validate Email
I really don’t like to use plugins, especially when my form only has one field that needs to be validated. I use this function and call it whenever I need to validate an email form field.
function validateEmail($email) {
var emailReg = /^([\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4})?$/;
return emailReg.test( $email );
}
and now to use this
if( !validateEmail(emailaddress)) { /* do stuff here */ }
Cheers!
