IMA NEWBIE - JS Form Validation Problem

[frosco]

For some reason my form is letting blank email addresses slip by. It will validate them if they're input incorrectly, but does nothing if the string is <2 characters.

I have 1% idea what I'm doing with JS..please help me gently. =)

function test(src)
{
	var emailReg = "^[\\w-_'\.]*[\\w-_'\.]\@[\\]\.+[\\w-_]+[\\w]$";
	var regex = new RegExp(emailReg);
	return regex.test(src);
}

function validate() {
	var i=0;
	var errcolour='#CC3300';
	var msg='The following fields did not pass validation:\n\n';

	if(document.guestbook.EMAIL.value.length >1)
	{
		emailValid = test(document.guestbook.EMAIL.value);
		if(emailValid == false)
		{
			++i;
			msg += "Your E-mail address is not valid.\n";		
			document.guestbook.EMAIL.style.background=errcolour;
			document.guestbook.EMAIL.style.color='#FFFFFF';		
		}else{
			document.guestbook.EMAIL.style.background='#FFFFFF';
			document.guestbook.EMAIL.style.color='';				
		}
	}
if(document.guestbook.EMAIL.value.length <2)
	{
		++i;
		msg += 'You must supply a valid email address\n';
		document.guestbook.EMAIL.style.background=errcolour;
		document.guestbook.EMAIL.style.color='#FFFFFF';		
	}else{
		document.guestbook.EMAIL.style.background='#FFFFFF';
		document.guestbook.EMAIL.style.color='';				
	}

....there is more to this code, but nothing pertaining the problem ( I don't think!)

Thanks!

I figured it out--just had to flip-flop the two if/else statements.
