email not validating

Question

Hello I am using this example
http://themes.semicolonweb.com/html/canvas/forms-car-rental.html

in the email field, info@example (without tld) is valid, notice the domain is not fully qualified, I can pass validation without .com, .co, .co.uk etc

can this be fixed?

Hello,

The jQuery Validation Plugin uses the same regular expression that the HTML5 Specification suggests for browsers to use: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#valid-e-mail-address .

Hope this Helps!

So actually the specification says that it should be:

email = 1*( atext / "." ) "@" label *( "." label )

something@something.something

however if you check the example in your car demo, you can do something@something without the last label as specified in the specs and it is valid.

Hope that makes sense.

Hello,

You can simply consider adding the .customjs Class on the .form-widget Element to disable the Validation JS on the Form. And then use the following Input code inside the Form:

You will see the exact same result with the Default HTML5 Check and with the Canvas's Validation Plugin turned off. The user@website will get passed.

Hope this Helps!

OK fair enough, if anyone else needs to validate the emails to usual name@domain.com
then it is documented here.
