There's a lengthy and read-worthy discussion about REGEX Mail patterns here.

Basically,

if(val.match(/\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i) != null) {
     addSuccess(this);
}

marks for example blocks custom endings beyond 4 characters as invalid.

Some even go as far and only check for an @ sign existing in the string

The fv-func() method makes use of eval() in order to run the user desired method to validate an input field. The use of this means that the JavaScript engine will have no knowledge of what is about to be ran and as a result is poorly optimized.

The fix for this will be based around replacing the eval() call with some sort of parser?

hey man, good job on this.

Question:

Trying to produce an error if the input contains white spaces ... using this:

fv-advanced='{"regex": "/^\s$/;", "message": "This field cannot contain spaces."}' 
``

But I'm getting the following error:

VM389:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token s in JSON at position 15
at JSON.parse ()
at HTMLInputElement. (VM375 formValidation.js:33)
at HTMLInputElement.dispatch (jquery.min.js:2)
at HTMLInputElement.y.handle (jquery.min.js:2)

Any tips?

thanks,

hey buddy - question.

Would it be possible to run a function or simply apply a JS variable if the input field is validated?

For example, if the field was valid to "addClass" or something similar?

In this case the sumbit button would be hidden if not validated, or vice versa:

$('#datadirbtn').addClass("btn-hidden");

thx!

Having more than one validation check on an input will only run the first validation check.
