i tried to integrate the pop up error which exits in 2nd one to 1st one but failed as i am new to jquery ! Can some one tell me how to do it as the 2nd code is bit complex to me . :(

function validateEmail(){
                //testing regular expression
                var a = $("#email").val();
                var filter = /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9]+[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+[a-zA-Z0-9]+.[a-z]{2,4}$/;
                //if it's valid email
                if(filter.test(a)){
                        email.removeClass("error");
                        emailInfo.text("Valid E-mail please, you will need it to log in!");
                        emailInfo.removeClass("error");
                        return true;
                }
                //if it's NOT valid
                else{
 
                        email.addClass("error");
                        emailInfo.text("Stop cowboy! Type a valid e-mail please :P");
 promptText = "Valid E-mail please, you will need it to log in!";
 buildPrompt(promptText);
                        emailInfo.addClass("error");
                        return false;
 
                }
        }
 

If i can make the code something like highlighted bcos already the validation is being done!

Is there a need for both? One or the other is fine as far as I can see.

I wanted to integrate the second one for ma testing needz!! i did not succeed ! so asked for help :)

If you do want to integrate them, in terms of code they both work very differently. For the second one, you need to set special classes which the code looks at to determine the rules to apply. You will also need to set your regex rules in the code (near the top - see the code comments).
