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?
