Is there a generally accepted technique for client-side email address

I suppose
<script type="text/javascript">
/**

*
* @param s : string

*/
function isValidEmailAddr(s)
{
return ...
}
function isValidForm(f)
{
return isValidEmailAddr(f.elements['email'].value);
}
</script>
<form action="validate" onsubmit="return isValidForm(this)">
...
<input name="email" ...>
...
</form>
could qualify.
Can someone point me to a good, widely-used and tested script?
That depends on what you expect "e-mail address validation" to be.
Generally, that is unlikely; search the archives.
