Email validation/masking in VL Web

[dhnaigles]

does anyone have a sample of telling VLWeb that a text box is an email address and validating that it is "correct"? WAMs have a way of doing this, but I cannot figure out a VL Web equivalent? Maybe a regular express? Has anyone done this and could you provide a sample? Thanks in advance

v14.2 will have an isEmail intrinsic function.

Until then, the simplest solution is to create a widget with a simple JavaScript test using a regular expression.

Question: What will the criteria for email validation be with the "isEmail" function?

I am asking because I spent some time with the specification for email addresses and as I recall, taken literally the RFC2822 allows for many things that we are not interested in normally - but which are valid.

As I understand it, isEmail validates email addresses using criteria that approximate RFC2822.

It will cover the vast majority of email addresses.
