"E-Mail Validation Script"

I got my first form submitting this week but I still need to get an E-mail Vlidation script working. Here's the one I'm currently using:



Obviously I don't need to say the form should be called form1 ect. But it doesn't work at all. Can anybody spot what's wrong with it?
Thanks in advance

Oops, remove the line which reads:

alert('You have submitted info: ' + myForm.txt2.value.indexOf('.'));

OK, this script works, change yours as appropriate:

--------------

...

You should also remove the 'onClick' action from your submit button. I would recommend however trying a different, more powerful email address validator. There is a JavaScript one at:

http://javascript.internet.com/ forms/email-validation---basic.html [spaces]

Ideally however you should use a server side script (e.g. PHP) since someone can get around the validation by turning of JavaScript....

Ok. The address is http://membres.lycos.fr/rickoss/test.php The code is already on there.

Cheers.

PHP is server side, JavaScript is client side. You need a client side script to load an alert. If you upload the page with the JavaScript you have got, I will have a look and tell you what is wrong....

Oh, you mean the one you sent me first of all? I was meaning the one I posted futher down the thread. It's simple, that's why I wanted to use it really. Doesn't really matter about an E-Mail Validation script, i'll stick with deleting e-mails :-)

Didn't the one I sent you work??? I thought you said it did?

Damn it, can't be bothered with this validation script, nothing seems to work. I thought that PHP one would but I don't know how to call alert() functions on PHP. :\

Heh, i was supposed to pu "." not "@" :-D

Cheers

You've got that one twice for some reason:


if(document.form1.txt2.indexOf("@")== -1){
alert('Invalid E-Mail Address \n Please Retry')
return false;
}


Delete one and see if its any better.

Hmmmm, isn't working. Here's the script i'm using:
