Can you give me a concrete example of a false positive or false negative in the validation plugin?
Those are what we test against: http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/test/methods.js (scroll down to test("email"...) In addition, the validation implemented a mostly correct regex, with exception where appropriate, for example 99.9% of all users expect [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be an invalid email address, even if it isn't according to the RFC. For that case the validation plugin contains an additional method, "email2", which marks [EMAIL PROTECTED] as valid: http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/additional-methods.js (scroll down to bottom) Jörn On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 5:11 PM, AstroIvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Looks like the default email validation isn't of the correct version. > My team is going with this as a custom validator, but the validate > plugin might want to update > > http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/JavaScript/Best_Practices >
