title: jQuery/Javascript custom email validation not working
body: <p>I didn't want to us a plugin for simple email validations so i tried to create my own but it doesn't work.  Its always returning false.  Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var regex = /\A[\w+\-.]+@[a-z\d\-.]+\.[a-z]+\z/i;
  
  if(regex.test($("#email").val()))
  {
      //pass
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?  Thank you!</p>
