javscript email checker won't allow numbers

[nikky]

I have some javascript that I use to test for valid email addresses. I have used it before with success, but on one page it won't allow numbers in email addresses. Here are the code snippets:

<script>
function val(str) {
var objRegExp =

/(^[a-z]([a-z_\.]*)@([a-z_\.]*)([.][a-z]{3})$)|(^[a-z]([a-z_\.]*)@([a-z_\.]*)(\.[a-z]{3})(\.[a-z]{2})*$)/i;
return objRegExp.test(str);
}
</script>

and on the email form field:

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;text&quot; NAME=&quot;EMail&quot; size=&quot;30%&quot; maxlength=&quot;60&quot;

style=&quot;font-family: arial,verdana; font-size: 11px;&quot; onBlur=&quot;if(!val(this.value)){alert('Invalid Email, Please check

entry!')};&quot;>

Any ideas ?

try this:

<script>
function val(str) {
var objRegExp =

/(^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9_\.]*)@([a-z0-9_\.]*)([.][a-z0-9]{3})$)|(^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9_\.]*)@([a-z0-9_\.]*)(\.[a-z0-9]{3})(\.[a-z0-9]{2})*$)/i;
return objRegExp.test(str);
}
</script>

if (!succeed) try();
