Question

I didn’t want to us a plugin for simple email validations so i tried to create my own but it doesn’t work. Its always returning false. Here is my code:

var regex = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i;

if(regex.test($("#email").val()))
{
    //pass
}

What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

Answer 1

I would assume that \A is supposed to be ^ and \z is supposed to be $.
