Re: webdb.isemailaddress: in my opinion it doesn't work

I am using the following. It may be the same as the builtin one and I know it is very basic. Doesn't check for more than a _at_ sign.

function isEmail(theElement, theElementName) {   str = theElement.value;
  if (!(result = ((str != "") && (str.indexOf("_at_") != -1) && (str.indexOf(".") != -1)))) {

    alert( theElementName + " value must be an email address." );     theElement.focus();
  }
 return result;
}
