Email validation using regular expression in jQuery
To validate user input for email-id it's very easy using regular expressions. Using regular expressions you do not need to write lengthy logical code in jQuery. Following are the steps to do the same. Pass a string to RegExp or create a regex using the // syntax Call regex.test(string) So code would be... jQuery ( function () { $ ( ".mail" ). keyup ( function () { var VAL = this . value ; var email = new RegExp ( '^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$' ); if ( email . test ( VAL )) { alert ( 'Great, you entered an valid E-Mail-address' ); } }); });
