Hi –

Does anyone know how to change this javascript code so it will allow emails with the extension .ca ?

Right it allows emails with .com and several others. But not .ca

All those characters in the syntax make no sense to me. Also, if you know of a better email checking script that is free, let me know. Thank you!

Jeff

[CODE]
if (/^w+([.-]?w+)*@w+([.-]?w+)*(.w{2,3})+$/.test(newsletterForm.email.value))
{
return true;
}
else
{
alert(“You must enter a valid email address!”);
return false;
}

[/CODE]

@CharlesSep 23.2006 — <script type="text/javascript">

String.prototype.isEmailAddress = function () {return /^[^x00-x20()<>@,;:\".[]x7f-xff]+(?:.[^x00-x20()<>@,;:\".[]x7f-xff]+)*@[^x00-x20()<>@,;:\".[]x7f-xff]+(?:.[^x00-x20()<>@,;:\".[]x7f-xff]+)+$/.test(this)}

</script>

<input type="text" onchange="if (!this.value.isEmailAddress()) {alert ('That would not appear to be a valid email address.'); this.value=''; this.focus()}" >

@KorSep 23.2006 — The code is ok, I don't see how it can not allow [B].ca [/B]... It works for me

<i>
</i>alert(/^w+([.-]?w+)*@w+([.-]?w+)*(.w{2,3})+$/.test('[email protected]'))


The code is Regular Expression test. It is something like: If the string has allowed characters (letters,digits, underscores,hyphens and dots - bot no neighbouring dots) followed by a single @ character, followed by allowed characters and the numbers of allowed characters after the last dot must be 2 or 3.

It works, what is the problem?

@haefauthorSep 23.2006 — You're right. My apologies. It does accept the ca extention. Something else must be going on.

I'll dig into the errors further.

Thanks for the quick response. Great forum.
