Javascript is not the tool for the job in this case. Validation must be performed server-side (although you may wish to do it on the client as well, for convenience).

I do agree with Twey, but as per request, you can validate a textbox's value if it's a valid email by RegEx (http://www.javascriptkit.com/jsref/regexp.shtml):



<script type="text/javascript">
var ray={
checkEmail:function(el)
{
alert(/^([a-z0-9])([\w\.\-\+])+([a-z0-9])\@(([\w\-]?)+\.)+([a-z]{2,4})$/i.test(this.returnVal(el))?'Congratulations! It\'s a valid email address':'Sorry, it\'s an invalid email address');
},
checkNum:function(el)
{
// For regex, you can use \d - to test it value is decimal
alert(!isNaN(Number(this.returnVal(el)))?'It\'s a valid number':'It\'s an invalid number');
},
returnVal:function(el)
{
return document.getElementById(el).value;
}
}
</script>
<label for="email">Email Address: </label>
<input type="text" id="email"><br>
<label for="number">Number: </label>
<input type="text" id="number"><br>
<input type="button" value="Validate Email" onclick="ray.checkEmail('email')">
<input type="button" value="Validate Number" onclick="ray.checkNum('number')">
