why is my email input still accepted even though email is not in proper format-CodePudding

the email is still accepted even tho it's not in proper format. what is the proper email validation in jQuery?

Here is the code sample using jQuery

if(email.indexOf("@") < 0 || email.indexOf(".") < 0){
    $("#spanInputEmail").removeClass('hideme');
    $("#inputEmail").addClass('borderColor');
    return;
}

CodePudding user response：

Your current condition is only checking for the email containing at least one "." and at least one "@"

You can see here a set of rules to validate that a string is a valid email address.

In your case, I would use an existing solution, to prevent reinventing the wheel, maybe this answer on SO is a good starting point

In your if-clause, try to call a function like in this answer: How can I validate an email address in JavaScript?

To answer the question: I don't know much of the context of your script, but you're using the or operator || and it looks more like you want to use &&
