It's impossible to check if an address is REALLY valid but we can check for the presence of the "@" character.
<HTML><HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
function validate_email() {
if (document.jsform.email.value.indexOf('@',0)==-1 ||
document.jsform.email.value.indexOf('@',0)== 0 ||
document.jsform.email.value.indexOf('.',0)==-1) {
alert('\nInvalid email address.')
document.jsform.email.select()
document.jsform.email.focus()
return false
}
}
</SCRIPT><BODY>
Press ENTER to validate this email address
<FORM NAME="jsform"
ONSUBMIT="return validate_email()">
<INPUT NAME="email"
TYPE="text"
SIZE="50">
</FORM></BODY></HTML>
