How to check if the user enters email in correct format while submitting the service request form?

[omkar2]

The user should not be able to submit the form if the email is in incorrect format and prompted to correct it.

PS: I am using the username field above to auto-populate the user's email using catalog client script. Please help! Thanks.

I would recommend automatically populating the email address when a name is added on the "Contact Person" field.

If the value is bad or empty add an onChange script on "Please enter the E-mail address"and use an email regex pattern. If they give the wrong pattern, clear the value and show an error message.

Thanks Darla. But you could you please help me write a script since I'm fairly new to scripting and SNOW development.

If you have Kingston, use the other suggestion. If not, then the script below should work with minor tweaks:

UI Type: All

Type: onChange

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {     

g_form.hideErrorBox('recipient_email');
if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
           return;
     }

//Validate the value in the email field is valid
var valid = validateEmail(newValue);
if (!valid)
g_form.showErrorBox('recipient_email', getMessage('Invalid email address'));
else
g_form.hideErrorBox('recipient_email');
}

function validateEmail(email) { 
       var re = /^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/;
       return re.test(email);
}

Thank you so much, it worked but it still allows me to submit the request with bad email. Please let me know how to avoid that?
