Thread: help with email validation

I'm not aware of using / instead of " in that way.

I would try running your page in FireFox and check the Error Console for JS errors. There must be something happening with it.

I tested the code I posted and it worked fine for me.

Thanks RR...but I don't have FireFox, only IE.

I found out the following link and for some reason this one works with the " but like this: Validate email adresses using regular expressions
weird...lol.

Code:

var emailExp = new RegExp("^[a-z0-9_\+-]+(\.[a-z0-9_\+-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\.([a-z]{2,4})$");

This is the site where I got the original line: Javascript Tutorial - Form
