Hi,

<script language="javascript">
function checkEmail {
var email = document.getElementById(’emailaddress’);
var filter = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
if (!filter.test(email.value)) {
alert(’Please provide a valid email address’);
email.focus
return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<form name="emailaddress" id="emailaddress" method="post" action="index.html" onSubmit="return checkEmail();">
<fieldset><legend>What's Your Name</legend>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Email</td>
<td><input class="text" id="emailaddress" name="emailaddress" size="20" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
<p id="formbuttons"><input type="submit" name="nextb" id="nextb" value=" Next " /> </p>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html> Thanks
