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

Native method:

$("#myform").validate({
 // options...
});

$.validator.methods.email = function( value, element ) {
  return this.optional( element ) || /[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}/.test( value );
}
