I am a new Java student and would appreciate a little help.

What I need is to be able to validate the period as the fourth from
the last character in an email address and return focus if the address
is invalid. The best I have been able to do is a good address on the
first attempt. If an incorrect address is entered first I am unable to
get it to accept a good address from then on. The code below is what I
have left after removing everything that did not work.

Is there anyone here that can provide some assistance. Thanks

// validate the e-mail
var RegeMail=document.Register.eMail.value
var atSign = RegeMail.indexOf("@")
if (RegeMail == " " || atSign == -1) {
alert("Please enter your e-mail address")
document.Register.eMail.value = " "
document.Register.eMail.focus()
}

Hi Sue,

Java is not Javascript.

Try comp.lang.javascript for Javascript related questions.

And when you do, please post more code, like when you call the function.
