Valid email address code not working.

[Shaun Summers]

Hi,

I've used the code from tutorial https://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials... to validate the registration fields. It all works fine except for checking that the email address is a valid email format.

if ($.trim(Appery("loginInput").val()) !== "") {
if (Appery("passwordInput").val() == Appery("confirmPasswordInput").val()) {
if ($.trim(Appery("emailInput").val()) !== "") {
if (!document.getElementsByName("emailInput")[0].checkValidity || document.getElementsByName("emailInput")[0].checkValidity()) {register.execute({});
} else {
alert("Please enter a valid email");
}
} else {
alert("Please specify your email");
}
} else {
alert("Passwords don't match!");
}
} else {
alert("Please enter your login");
}

Any ideas on where I've gone wrong. I've doubled checked it against the original and all my field names are correct.

Hello Shaun,

Please try this code to validate email while we're testing the one from the tutorial
precodefunction validateEmail(email) {
var re = /^([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+))@((?:[\w-]+\.)\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$/i;
return re.test(email);
}/code/pre

Thanks for the answer. I'm afraid I don't really understand where to include the code that you've given me in the original code that I posted (I've just been following the tutorial...)

Shaun.

I got another work around to work. I've posted it here in case it is useful for somebody else:

if ($.trim(Appery("Country_Select").val()) !== "Not_selected") {
if ($.trim(Appery("loginInput").val()) !== "") {
if (Appery("passwordInput").val() == Appery("confirmPasswordInput").val()) {
if ($.trim(Appery("emailInput").val()) !== "") {
if( /(.+)@(.+){2,}\.(.+){2,}/.test((Appery("emailInput").val()))) {register.execute({});
} else {
alert("Please enter a valid email");
}
} else {
alert("Please specify your email");
}
} else {
alert("Passwords don't match!");
}
} else {
alert("Please enter your login");
}
} else {
alert("Please enter your country");
}

function validateEmail(email)
{
var re = /^([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+))@((?:[\w-]+\.)\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$/i;
return re.test(email);
}
var email = Apperyio('txt_mobiletextinput_4').val();

var errorMsg = "";

if ($.trim(email) === "")
{
errorMsg = errorMsg + "Email cannot be blank \n";
}

if (errorMsg === "")
{
restservice2.execute({});
}
else
{
alert("Please fix the following error: \n" + errorMsg);
}
