I was trying to get the <input type="email" name="mail">
's value from jQuery
.
I've to run a validation for checking mail
's value
<script>
function valid(){
var em = $.trim($('input:email[name=mail]').val());
if(em.length < 5){
alert('Please enter email id');
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>
but the form is still submitting if the user left mail
blank.
I've gone through jQuery API Doc but not found any selector
for email
. Why so?
Why it is not present there and how would I solve this problem?
