Function to validate email in javascript

This regular expression will not verify if the particular email id exists or not. Instead, this regex is to validate the format of email id

In jquery

var ValidateEmail= function (email)
{
    var regexp = new RegExp('^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$'); 
    var check = $(email).val();
    if (!regexp.test(check)) {
 
        alert('Invalid e-mail!Please enter the e-mail ID in correct format');
        $('#EmailID').css('border-color', 'red');
        return false;
    }
    else
    {
        $('#EmailID').css('border-color', 'green');
        return true;
    }
}

In HTML

@Html.TextBox("EmailID", null, new { @class = "form-control text-box", @onchange = "ValidateEmail(this)" })

Explanation

This regex is versatile as it allows the all-important international characters while not disturbing the basic something@something.something format.
