I'd personally advise against using 8-bit characters in javascript; my
experience is that such is not portable. Also, I trust that you are
still checking on the back end - it's relatively easy to disable
javascript.
To do this check without 8-bits, I believe the logic needs to be
reversed - what isn't legal. I much prefer to do the check the way
Embperl::Form::Validate does it, but I have the advantage of not having
to support non-ASCII email addresses.
Of course, you could always try saying IE isn't supported. ;>
