validating a form

I want to make sure that people are entering valid emails ( atleast with @whatever.com). And i want it to make sure they retyped their email correctly. How do i do that with javascript?

Here is the form im using.

<form name="form2" method="post" action="regcomplete.php">
<p>Name:<input type="text" name="name">
<br>
Email:<input type="text" name="email">
<br>
Retype your Email:<input type="text" name="remail">
<br>
Create a password:<input type="password" name="password">
<br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Sign me up!">
</p></form>

I always use the following:

PHP Code:
function echeck(str) {

        var 
at="@"
        
var dot="."
        
var lat=str.indexOf(at)
        var 
lstr=str.length
        
var ldot=str.indexOf(dot)
        if (
str.indexOf(at)==-1){
           
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
           return 
false
        
}

        if (
str.indexOf(at)==-|| str.indexOf(at)==|| str.indexOf(at)==lstr){
           
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
           return 
false
        
}

        if (
str.indexOf(dot)==-|| str.indexOf(dot)==|| str.indexOf(dot)==lstr){
            
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
            return 
false
        
}

         if (
str.indexOf(at,(lat+1))!=-1){
            
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
            return 
false
         
}

         if (
str.substring(lat-1,lat)==dot || str.substring(lat+1,lat+2)==dot){
            
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
            return 
false
         
}

         if (
str.indexOf(dot,(lat+2))==-1){
            
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
            return 
false
         
}
        
         if (
str.indexOf(" ")!=-1){
            
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
            return 
false
         
}

          return 
true;
    } 


So with your form, you would use:

PHP Code:
<html>
<
head>
<
script>
function 
echeck(str) {

        var 
at="@"
        
var dot="."
        
var lat=str.indexOf(at)
        var 
lstr=str.length
        
var ldot=str.indexOf(dot)
        if (
str.indexOf(at)==-1){
           
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
           return 
false
        
}

        if (
str.indexOf(at)==-|| str.indexOf(at)==|| str.indexOf(at)==lstr){
           
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
           return 
false
        
}

        if (
str.indexOf(dot)==-|| str.indexOf(dot)==|| str.indexOf(dot)==lstr){
            
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
            return 
false
        
}

         if (
str.indexOf(at,(lat+1))!=-1){
            
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
            return 
false
         
}

         if (
str.substring(lat-1,lat)==dot || str.substring(lat+1,lat+2)==dot){
            
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
            return 
false
         
}

         if (
str.indexOf(dot,(lat+2))==-1){
            
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
            return 
false
         
}
        
         if (
str.indexOf(" ")!=-1){
            
alert("Invalid E-mail Address")
            return 
false
         
}

          return 
true;
    }

function 
ValidateForm() {
    var 
elem=document.form2.email;
    if (
echeck(elem)==false) {
             return 
false;
        }
return 
true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form2" method="post" action="regcomplete.php" onsubmit="return ValidateForm();">
<p>Name:<input type="text" name="name">
<br> 
Email:<input type="text" name="email">
<br>
Retype your Email:<input type="text" name="remail">
<br>
Create a password:<input type="password" name="password">
<br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Sign me up!">
</p></form>
</body>
</html>

James, I'd have thought you'd know better than responding to a 4 year old post :p

I know it was 4 years old. I was just getting VERY bored at work and needed to look busy so I looked for all posts with 0 replies, no matter how old. haha- who knows, maybe it will help someone if they stumble up on it in the future. haha

you could also use javascript: /regex/.test(email) to validate the email.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function validateEmail(email){
    return /^[a-z][\w.]*@[a-z\-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}(\.[a-z]{2,4})?$/i.test(email);
}

alert(validateEmail("test@example.com"));
</script>

But I guess you would either have to understand regular expressions (or use something like regexlib.com) to expand it further than just the email.
