How to validate email domain

[tracjerian]

looking for script that will do client side validation of email domain

[ToeJam]

Quickest way is to use cfform validation:
<cfform name="someForm" action="" format="html" preservedata="yes">
<cfinput type="text" validate="email" validateat="onsubmit,onserver" required="yes" message="Please Enter Valid Email">
</cfform>

You'll need to use a REGEX (regular expression) script. Do a google search for 'coldfusion email regex'..finds plenty,

Finding a lot of regex that work great, problem is that I need to validate a specific domain (ex. us.mycompany.com).
I've tried manipulating this expression without luck:

Email: <CFINPUT TYPE="Text" NAME="email"
VALIDATE="regular_expression"
PATTERN=" ^([_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\.
(([a-z]{2,3})|(aero|coop|info|museum|name)))?$"
MESSAGE="Email is improperly formatted">

Any ideas?

^([_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@mydomain\.com)?$

If you have addresses like me.me@me.mydomain.com it may need to be modified.

Good Luck

Sorry,
I didn't read your example address very well the first time.

^([_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@us\.mycompany\.com)?$
