Regex with emails 1

[Maldini]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a regex to match email accounts from a specific domain.

So say, I'm trying to match all people that use my registration form using a Hotmail account.

This is the regex expression I have right now. Doesn't seem to match any hotmail accounts as valid though.

var emailFilter = new RegExp("^\w+@hotmail\.com$");

I've also tried

var emailFilter=/^\w+@/hotmail/\./com$//;

But this doesn't even initiate my javascript alert!

Anyone have any tips or could point out where I've gone wrong?
Thanks.

can you clarify? do you just want to see if "@hotmail.com" is in the email string?

var email = "foobar@hotmail.com";
var re = /@hotmail\.com/;
alert( re.test(email) );

Yup, basically thats what I'm trying to do.
Thanks, your suggestion provided the solution, in the end I used :
var FilterIt = /\w+@hotmail\.com/;
