I'm doing a regex check valid email function and I get a vague error that it's not a function.
These are the answers I referenced:
A simple jQuery form validation script
Validate email with a regex in jQuery
JavaScript regexp match against variable email domain
The basic gist of the last two answers is to run a .test() running it against the email input. So from the third question I linked:
var userinput = 'dirk@something.com';
var domain = 'somethingelse.com';
var pattern = /^\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b$/i
if(!pattern.test(userinput) || userinput.split('@')[1] != domain)
{
alert('not a valid e-mailadres, or the wrong domain!');
}
I took this seemingly basic premise and ran with it.
My code looks like this:
HTML:
<form action="/premium/sign-up/" method="POST" id="signupform">
<div class="field">
<input class="signup-form-input" type="text" name="name" id="signupform-name" >
<label class="signup-form-input-label" for="name">Name</label>
</div>
<div class="field">
<input class="signup-form-input" type="text" name="email" id="signupform-email" >
<label class="signup-form-input-label" for="email">E-Mail</label>
</div>
<div class="field">
<input class="signup-form-input" type="password" name="password" id="signupform-password" >
<label class="signup-form-input-label" for="Password">Password</label>
</div>
<div class="field">
<input type="hidden" name="_csrftoken" value="<%= token %>">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Next" class="signup-form-input" id="signup-next">
</div>
<div class="field field--lower-content">
<input type="checkbox" name="update-opt" id="update-opt-checkbox">
<label class="update-opt-label" for="update-opt">

</form>
JavaScript:
$(function() {
$("#signupform").submit(function(e) {
var nameField = $("#signupform-name").val();
var emailField = $("#signupform-email").val();
var emailCheck = "^\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*$";
var passwordField = $("#signupform-pasword").val();
if (nameField === "") {
e.preventDefault();
$("#signupform-name").addClass("form-error");
}
if (!emailCheck.test(emailField)) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#signupform-email").addClass("form-error");
}
if (passwordField === "") {
e.preventDefault();
$("#signupform-name").addClass("form-error");
}
});
});
When I submit the form I get this:
Uncaught TypeError: "^w+([-+.']w+)@w+([-.]w+).w+([-.]w+)*$".test is not a function
at HTMLFormElement. (scripts.min.js:1)
at HTMLFormElement.dispatch (jquery.min.js:2)
at HTMLFormElement.y.handle (jquery.min.js:2)
Why am I getting this? What am I doing wrong that the linked answers are doing right?
