Something tangential to keep in mind is BE CONSISTENT. I've come across numerous instances out there where different features on a site don't have the same validation.

Whatever validation method you choose, use the same one across your entire app. On 2/24/13 12:21 PM, Justin Scott wrote: >> Pretty sure isValid() incorrectly flags emails with apostrophes as invalid. > Nope, at least not with CF9 (checked last night before I posted). > >> There are two or three bugs with isValid() and emails. > I was about to ask if anyone had details on where isValid() might fail > on e-mail addresses when I saw that Adam wrote up a blog entry in > reference to this thread at > http://adamcameroncoldfusion.blogspot.com/2013/02/email-address-validation-1-in-series.html > which outlines a bunch of possibilities with tests run on CF10.
