i'm not sure what you're referring to as not matching up - i'm not seeing it - i went through section by section deleting just to double check?
(i had stuck that whole phrase in parentheses so the regex is only between the quotes in my previous post, in case that may have looked like part of the _expression_).
(^[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)[EMAIL PROTECTED](\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*\.(([a-zA-Z]{2,3})|(aero|coop|info|museum|name))$)|(^ *$)
is the regex - it works perfectly in anything i can test it on myself.
apparently, if you enter an email correctly the first time in Safari, it works fine - which makes me think (worry morelike, since i -have- to make this work) that it's some strange thing in Safari with _javascript_, but was hoping someone around who's used Safari & CF might know for sure one way or the other (like I said, I don't really have access to Mac OSX & Safari & have to keep bugging external people to "check this and that" so this debug process is difficult - especially when mostly all anyone tells you is "it doesn't work" & it's pulling teeth to get more info than that! :) I'll have to track down a Mac running OSX somewhere that I can use).
thanks again,
amanda
