JQuery validate e-mail address regex
- by RussP
Hi folks, not too sure about how to do this. I need/want to validate email addresses by regex using something like this:
[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+(?:[A-Z]{2}|com|org|net|edu|gov|mil|biz|info|mobi|name|aero|asia|jobs|museum)
Not I need to run this in a JQ function like this: Where does the validation go and wht is the expression? - please
$j("#fld_emailaddress").live('change',function() {
var emailaddress = $j("#fld_emailaddress").val();
// validation here?
if(emailaddress){}
// end validation
$j.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "../ff-admin/ff-register/ff-user-check.php",
data: "fld_emailaddress="+ emailaddress,
success: function(msg)
{
if(msg == 'OK') {
$j("#fld_username").attr('disabled',false);
$j("#fld_password").attr('disabled',false);
$j("#cmd_register_submit").attr('disabled',false);
$j("#fld_emailaddress").removeClass('object_error'); // if necessary
$j("#fld_emailaddress").addClass("object_ok");
$j('#email_ac').html(' <img src="img/cool.png" align="absmiddle"> <font color="Green"> Your email <strong>'+ emailaddress+'</strong> is OK.</font> ');
} else {
$j("#fld_username").attr('disabled',true);
$j("#fld_password").attr('disabled',true);
$j("#cmd_register_submit").attr('disabled',true);
$j("#fld_emailaddress").removeClass('object_ok'); // if necessary
$j("#fld_emailaddress").addClass("object_error");
$j('#email_ac').html(msg);
}
}
});
});
