Yes use the following
<script>
function checkForm(theForm) {
var emailRegex=/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)[EMAIL PROTECTED]([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,})+$/;
if(document.forms[theForm.name].contactEmail.value.length==0||emailRegex
.test(document.forms[theForm.name].contactEmail.value)==false)
{
alert('Please enter the email address!');
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
</script>
<form name="myForm" action="" method="post"
checkForm(this)">
...
</form>
