Hi Streety

This might help you: http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascript.html

Kind regards

Thanks for that Anders.

Please forgive my JS. Something like this? 

var valid_email = new RegExp("\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*");

if (formObj.email.match(valid_email)) {

alert(

"Successful match");

}

else {

alert(

"No match");

}

 Doesn't work though.

Just ina case you didn't know: that regex won't strictly 'validate' email addresses. You might wish to read this, or Google for some info on the near inability to actually do so.

Hmmm. Wondered why such a basic function is missing from the sample website.

The validation of email and postcodes is rather bread & butter wouldn't you say?

I am a little further forward with this:

I have a functional called Validate that can check the input string on the email input.

 function validate() {
    var paymentInformation = jQuery("#paymentInformation");
    var email = paymentInformation.find("#email").val();

    if (validateEmail(email)) {
    //        $("#result").text("good email");
    //        $("#result").css("color", "Green");
    } else {
    //        $("#result").text("bad email");
    //        $("#result").css("color", "red");
       
    }
    return false;
}

function validateEmail(email) {
    var re = /^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
    return re.test(email);
}

However I havn't figured how o tie it into the existing PageValidateText routine and work.

Any support would be greatly received.

Doesn't the if(validateEmail('[email protected]')) works? That should return true. Else try and make an alert in the validateEmail method and see what re.test(email) returns.

Kind regards
Anders

Yes the method works however I can't seem to wire in to your pagevalidattext statement.

This checks to see if any validation message have been posted and it not,  allows the process to continue.

if

(pageValidateText != '') {

 I want to able to use the existing frame to add a new validation message "bad email" to the pagevalidationtext

var pageValidateText = '';

This html editor on this forum is so pants.

Cant you just make something like this in the teaCommerce_Simple.js

if (!validateEmail()) {
    pageValidateText += '\nBad email!!';
  }

Kind regards
Anders
