If you use [`input type="email"`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Input), the browser will do the validation for you. (Also remember you always need to validate server-side either way.) — Ulrich Schwarz, Apr 12 '15 at 16:00

function isValid(email) {
  var regex = /^([\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)*)@((?:[\w-]+\.)*\w[\w-]{0,66})\.([a-z]{2,6}(?:\.[a-z]{2})?)$/i;
  return regex.test(email);
}
