validate email address from string with jquery working function

Here is a working example of this post validate email address from string.

This has very basic checking of an email address by checking that the string has an @ and a . in it.

Note: this is still not checking the @ properly still working on this one. 

Update: I have split up the checking for the . and the @ as they were conflicting, they are detected now, but still may not give a valid email address check, as it only checks for the existance of the characters rather than their location in the string. So its just very basic validation. 

Validate Demo

HTML

<input type="email" id="emailfield" placeholder="Enter Email Address">
<button onclick="validate_email();">Check Email Address</button>

Scripts

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>

Javascript

function validate_email() {
        var emailfield = $("#emailfield").val();
        var atpos = emailfield.indexOf("@");
        var dotpos = emailfield.lastIndexOf(".");
        console.log(atpos);

        // check the @ 1st
        if(atpos >= 1) {} else {
          alert("Email missing @");
          return false;
        }

        // check the dot pos
        if(dotpos >= 1) {} else {
          alert("Email missing .");
          return false;
        }
        alert("Email is valid");
      }

In this case my anchor this week becomes driving almost 2hrs outside of Atlanta to one of my favorite hard core gyms in the world.. MetroFlex aka The Dungeon. The gym owners turn the heat way up so it becomes a fun sweat box and the gym members just watch from afar and leave me alone. I happily drive myself long distances to find MY ANCHOR. Our anchor allows us to have balance, focus and be as productive as possible. And if you're in the middle of a heavy set and your headphones start to fall off your head, like mine did here.. well.. f*ck the headphones. Let em break and fall. You can always get a new pair, but the iron ain't ever gonna lift itself.
