Email validation using jQuery

Question

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

Answer 1

Javascript Email Validation in MVC/ASP.NET

The problem I came across while using Fabian's answer, is implementing it in an MVC view because of the Razor @ symbol. You have to include an additional @ symbol to escape it, like so: @@

To Avoid Razor In MVC

function isEmail(email) {
  var regex = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_.+-])+\@@(([a-zA-Z0-9-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
  return regex.test(email);
}

I didn't see it elsewhere on this page, so I thought it might be helpful.

EDIT

Here's a link from Microsoft describing it's usage.
I just tested the code above and got the following js:

function validateEmail(email) {
  var regex = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_.+-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/; 
  return regex.test(email);
}

Which is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
