jQuery: Validate Email with Regex

jQuery: Validate Email with Regex

/* jQuery Validate Emails with Regex */
function validateEmail(Email) {
    var pattern = /^([\w-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([\w-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$/;

    return $.trim(Email).match(pattern) ? true : false;
}

return pattern.test($.trim(email)); is more adequate solution.

@EhteshamMehmood, your code/demo on phpcodify allows invalid emails.

For example, you allow some email beginning with a dot.
