In this section we are going to check email Validation using JavaScript.
JavaScript allows to perform a client side validation of email Ids in several forms. For this purpose, we have created an example which shows how you can validate an email address for a form.

When user submits the email address then it calls the ValidateEmail() function which validates the email entered by the user in the text box.
Here is the code:
| <html> <h2>Email Validation</h2> <script language = "Javascript"> function checkEmail() { if (/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/.test(form.email.value)){ document.write("You have entered valid email."); return true; } return false; } function ValidateEmail(){ var emailID=document.form.email; if ((emailID.value==null)||(emailID.value=="")){ alert("Please Enter your Email ID") emailID.focus() return false } if (checkEmail(emailID.value)==false){ emailID.value="" alert("Invalid Email Adderess"); emailID.focus() return false } return true } </script> <form name="form" method="post" onSubmit="return ValidateEmail()"> Enter an Email Address : <input type="text" name="email" size="30"><br> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </form> </html> |
Output will be displayed as:
When user enters the invalid email, an alert box is displayed showing error message:
