Email validation using jQuery

Question

I\'m new to jQuery and was wondering how to use it to validate email addresses.

Answer 1

This performs a more thorough validation, for example it checks against successive dots in the username such as john..doe@example.com

function isValidEmail(email)
{
    return /^[a-z0-9]+([-._][a-z0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)*\.)+[a-z]{2,4}$/.test(email)
        && /^(?=.{1,64}@.{4,64}$)(?=.{6,100}$).*/.test(email);
}

See validate email address using regular expression in JavaScript.
