Validating email addresses using jQuery and regex

Question

I\'m not too sure how to do this. I need to validate email addresses using regex with something like this:

[a-z0-9!#$%&\'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\\.[a-z0-9!#$         


        

Answer 1

Try this

function isValidEmailAddress(emailAddress) {
    var pattern = new RegExp(/^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/);
    return pattern.test(emailAddress);
};
