    do not use jquery, regular expression will make your job easy.

<body>
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr></tr>
<tr>
  <td>NAME</td>
  <td>ADDRESS</td>
  <td>PHONE</td>
  <td>EMAIL</td>

<tr>
  <td>wwqw</td>
  <td>qww</td>
  <td>ew</td>
  <td>email@exmaple.com</td>

  <td>e</td>
  <td>wew</td>

echo "<pre>";
$pattern="/([\s]*)([_a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*([ ]+|)@([ ]+|)([a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.)+([a-zA-Z]{2,}))([\s]*)/i";
