Validation in form, detecting a specific character

[Frank]

Hello,

I'm a total newbie on Javascript, and with a lot of help and some copy
and paste managed to get things running.

On my site: http://home.wanadoo.nl/homepage I use a form from
Bravenet. This works fine.

Unfortunately some persons fill in their e-mail address instead of the
URL of their page. Checking is done on empty fields but how to avoid
that a certain character "@" is used???

if (document.Bravenet.URL.value == "") {correct = false;
alert("message to display when empty")}

The above works fine for an empty field. I've been checking on
Javascript operators but can't get it working on detecting for the @
character.

Anybody a good idea??

Thanks in advance and regards from Holland.

Use a regular expression:

if (/@/.test(document.Bravenet.URL.value)) {
correct = false;
alert("@ detected\nmisseboel dus")
}
