Hi all
The following Form to E-mail script submits standard user entered information, but has no email address validatation :-
<html>
<head>
<title>Your title</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="
<!--The title and URL of the form will be listed at the top of the e-mail-->
<input type="hidden" name="Form title" value="Source of form">
<!--Specify the e-mail address to which data from the form should be sent-->
<input type="hidden" name="SendMailTo" value="youremailname@btinternet.com">
<!--Specify the acknowledgement page to be seen by customers who have sent in the form-->
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="
<h1>Form title here</h1>
<p>explanatory text here</p>
<pre>

<input name="Name">

<input name="E-mail address">

<textarea name="Description of pages" rows=5 cols=50></textarea>

The following script validates an email address :-
<form name="validation" onSubmit="return checkbae()">
Please input a valid email address:<br>
<input type="text" size=18 name="emailcheck">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
//Advanced Email Check credit-

var testresults
function checkemail(){
var str=document.validation.emailcheck.value
var filter=/^([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)@((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$/i
if (filter.test(str))
testresults=true
else{
alert("Please input a valid email address!"
testresults=false
}
return (testresults)
}
</script>
<script>
function checkbae(){
if (document.layers||document.getElementById||document.all)
return checkemail()
else
return true
}
</script>

The question is, how can you integrate the code from the email validation routine into the original script?
Alternatively, what other code would work?
TIA
