    My email validation is as follows

    apos=value.indexOf("@")
dotpos=value.lastIndexOf(".")
if (apos<1||dotpos-apos<2) 
{alert(alerttxt);return false}
else {return true}
    HTML:
    but if i enter an address as example@mydomain. it accepts it because there is nothing to say that there has to be something after the .

    Do you know how to ammend this, or so you have a better script than this, thanks

    You need to compare length of email string and dotpos
