Validating email address

HeikkiS
  • Discussion Created

Hi

 

I want to validate email address (or UPN) in my form.  I did some “google research” and found a script that should do the thing (https://www.w3resource.com/javascript/form/email-validation.php#).

 

function ValidateEmail(extAccountName) 

{ 

  var mailformat = /^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/; 

  if(extAccountName.value.match(mailformat)) 

  { 

    return true; 

  } 

  else 

  { 

    return false; 

  } 

}

 

Field name in form is extAccountName, which is created by concatenating a few fields together

 

"ext-" + [[extUserFirstName]] + "." + [[extUserName]] + "@almamedia.fi"

 

Calculating the value by first and last name works, but validation doesn’t. It rejects then input in every case. How should I do the validation?

    Hello Heikki Salminen

     

    If I understand you right you want validate value in extAccountName field that calculated by concatenating a few fields together.

     

    To do this you can try follow next (in my example I used Edit Form):

     

    1. Add Calculated expression for field extAccountName via Behaviour Tab of skybow Rich Forms:

    Use 'Assigment expression' with next code:

    "ext-" + [[extUserFirstName]] + "." + [[extUserName]] + "@almamedia.fi"

    2. Add Validation expression for field extAccountName via Behaviour Tab of skybow Rich Forms:

    Use 'Function Code expression' with next code in it:

    var email = [[extAccountName]];
    return (/^\w+([\.\-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.\-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/).test(email);

    3. Set Validation Text for field extAccountName via Behaviour Tab of skybow Rich Forms (it will show in case validation failed):

     

    And here is screenshot how it looks on runtime after you try to Save form with invalid Account Name:

    Hope it can help.

     

    Best regards
