Validating Email

How about this:

Very similar, but with minor variations - because really that is the answer if you want to use the regular expression you stated.

^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@duq.edu$ | ^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@wduq.orgu$ | ^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@library.duq.edu$ | ^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@mathcs.duq.edu$



If it doesn't work then show some examples that are not working that you need to validate...

how about this?

pattern="^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@(duq.edu | wduq.org | library.duq.edu | mathcs.duq.edu)$"

it still is not working

here is an email i try to input....i tried both solutions above and both will give me the validating message.

<cfinput type="text" name="EmpEmail" required="yes"

The pattern I suggested, works with the examples provided by nau2nd. Therefore it is very likely to be the answer to the question.

Thanks.
