RE: Validation Rules Help

Thanks man...looks good.

I just think what I need is impossible. Or far to complex for the simplicity
of the site.

Someone could still use a subdomain with a 2 or 3 letter sub and this would
sneak in as a actual international domain but it's the best idea so far!

Will work with it and see if I can get any farther.

Thanks for the input.

Dave

This is merely off the top of my head and only for the domain part,
not the username or the @.

/^([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)\.([a-zA-Z]{2,3})(\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3})?$/
