Sorry, but you should really implement Les Hazlewood’s Java solution in JavaScript.

p+oruk@auamail! is a valid e-mail address.

@Ravi

I hope it does Well, it still is crude and has a few bugs but for simple email validations and to learn javascript regular expressions I guess the examples good enough.

@Oleg Are they valid!! As far as I know they dont seem valid. You can only have one ‘@’ symbol which is used to separate the domain from the address.

I haven’t come across any site that allows me to use ‘=’ in my mail id. Let me know which site you are referring to. I’ll check it out and then make the appropriate changes.

If you still want a regex to allow email id’s of the type specified by you then let me know. I’ll try to make changes to my reg ex and send it to you

Whoops, I was wrong there, the proper RegExp is

/^[\w][\w\._\-]*@(?:[\w]+\.?)*[\w]\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/

I forgot that there are a few one-letter domains.
