Email validation using jQuery

Question

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

Answer 1

function validateEmail(emailaddress){  
   var emailReg = /^([\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4})?$/;  
   if(!emailReg.test(emailaddress)) {  
        alert("Please enter valid email id");
   }       
}
