In this article I will explain with an example, how to validate Email using JavaScript and Regular Expression (Regex) in ASP.Net MVC Razor.
When the Submit Button is clicked, the Email Address in the TextBox will be validated using JavaScript and Regular Expression (Regex) in ASP.Net MVC Razor.
Note: For beginners in ASP.Net MVC, please refer my article ASP.Net MVC Hello World Tutorial with Sample Program example.
 
 
Controller
The Controller consists of the following Action method.
Action method for handling GET operation
Inside this Action method, simply the View is returned.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    // GET: Home
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
}
 
 
View
The View consists of an HTML TextBox, SPAN element and a Button.
The Submit Button has been assigned a JavaScript OnClick event handler which calls the ValidateEmail JavaScript function.
When the Submit Button is clicked, the Email Address in the TextBox will be validated using JavaScript and Regular Expression (Regex) and if the Email Address is invalid, the error message will be displayed next to the TextBox.

            var lblError = document.getElementById("lblError");
            lblError.innerHTML = "";
            var expr = /^([\w-\.]+)@@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([\w-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$/;
            if (!expr.test(email)) {
                lblError.innerHTML = "Invalid email address.";
            }
        }
    </script>
</body>
</html>
