Email validation

[petenyce105]

im trying to validate a email address. im using this function and returning me a error

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
Function email()
if (ereg('^[a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.[a-zA-z0-9\-\.]+$'))
return true;
else
return false;
}
</script>

if(!email(document.registerForm.email.value)) {
alert(&quot;Phone number must include area code.&quot;
document.registerForm.email.focus();
return;
}


something wrong with this any help or a email script would work?

try this


function checkEmail(f){// f = form element

var filter = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
if (filter.test(f.value))
return true;
return false;

}
