I am trying to validate the input for E-Mail via JQuery:
My JQuery
<script>
/* <![CDATA[ */
jQuery(function(){
$( ".mail" ).keyup(function() {
var VAL = $(this).val();
var email = new RegExp(^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$);
if(VAL.test(email)){
alert('Great, you entered an E-Mail-address');
}
});
});
/* ]]> */
</script>
This won't alert even though I entered [email protected]. I already tried .test() and .match(), what did I do wrong?
//
syntaxregex.test(string)
, not string.test(regex)
So
jQuery(function () {
$(".mail").keyup(function () {
var VAL = this.value;
var email = new RegExp('^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$');
if (email.test(VAL)) {
alert('Great, you entered an E-Mail-address');
}
});
});
