A basic HTML and JS working code for validating email with JS is given here for u-

 function validateForm() { var x = document.forms["myForm"]["email"].value; var atpos = x.indexOf("@"); var dotpos = x.lastIndexOf("."); if (atpos<1 || dotpos<atpos+2 || dotpos+2>=x.length) { alert("Not a valid e-mail address"); return false; } else { alert("Valid e-mail address"); return true; } }

 <form name="myForm" action="demo_form.asp" onsubmit="return validateForm();" method="post"> Email: <input type="text" name="email"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>

You don't want inputText.value only inputText like this

 <input type="text" id="email" /> <input type="submit" onClick="f1()"/> <script language="javascript"> function f1() { console.log(document.getElementById("email").value); var inputText = document.getElementById("email").value; console.log(inputText) var mailformat = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\\.\\-])+\\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\\-])+\\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/; if (inputText.match(mailformat)) { // <<<<<<< here //document.form1.text1.focus(); alert("correct") } else { alert("You have entered an invalid email address!"); document.form1.text1.focus(); event.preventDefault(); } } </script>
