    What are an email validation requirements?

    Hello ppl,

    Does some know what are the official email validation requirements? I'm currently working on a validation script and want to make sure it covers everything.

    Cheers,

    hi,

    i'm not sure there is any standard for this, although there may be. But digging through a FormCheck javascript file from netscapes dev center i found this:

    Email address must be of form a@b.c -- in other words:
    * there must be at least one character before the @
    * there must be at least one character before and after the .
    * the characters @ and . are both required

    then again why invent the wheel, you could even extend these:

    good luck,
    Dunc
