.edu only registration?

[treelovinhippie]

hi

I have a form which already validates via PHP (but it's too complicated to edit).

I want to restrict an email text field, so that the user must enter a .edu email address. But it could be .edu or .edu.au or whatever. So if the code could just search the string for ".edu" anywhere inside would be good.

I am clueless when it comes to Javascript, could someone please kindly whip up some code?

cheers

Hi the following code should help although you should really do this with some sort off server side codeto stop people being able to register with javascript turned off.

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">			
	var FormCheck = {
		Init : function(){
			//replace 'formname' with your form name
			document.getElementById('formname').onsubmit = function(){
				//change 'email' to the name off your email field
				if(!FormCheck.CheckEmail(document.getElementById('email').value)){
					alert("email address not valid");
					return false;
				}
			};
		},
		CheckEmail : function(email){
		  var re = new RegExp(/^.*\.edu(\.\D{2})?$/);
			return email.match(re) ? true : false;
		}
	};
	window.onload = function(){
		FormCheck.Init();	
	}
</script>

Ah, awesome... thankyou so much!

I had another look at the PHP and with some trial and error managed to get it to work.

Thanks again mate, made my day
