Submit the form only if email is valid
javascript
Solution
You should attach `return continueornot();` to the `onsubmit` event of the form, not the button's click event.

Problem
I need a way to submit a form only if email is valid. If email is NOT valid then show ONLY an alert ( below you can see my code ). JAVASCRIPT: ``` function validateEmail(email) { var re = /^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/; return re.test(email); } function continueornot() { if(validateEmail(document.getElementById('emailfield').value)){ // ok }else{ alert("email not valid"); return false;} } ``` HTML: ``` <form method="post" action="register.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <table> <tr><td>Email:</td></tr> <tr><td><input type="text" size="30" name="email" id="emailfield"> </td></tr> <tr><td>Password:</td></tr> <tr><td><input type="password" size="30" name="password"> </td></tr> </table> <input name="steptwo" value="Create Account" type="submit" onclick="continueornot();"/> </form> ``` The problem is that the form is submitted even if the email is NOT valid. How can I resolve this problem ?
