Special Characters in a email address defined field

Good Day Team,

I am hoping you might point me to a URL or website that can list special characters, (i.e.& % $ ' "...), that cannot be used in a email address defined field:

The email address field above has no workflow or plug-in to that will identify the entry as a an invalid email address

so I'm assuming this is a out of the box function. I used to the quotation marks to test the field and I was happy to see

that there is some sort of out of the box validation.

Thanks in advance,

Jose V.

RE: Special Characters in a email address defined field

The website you sent will be very helpful in moving forward with javascript. Some of the special characters identified in teh first paragraph are accepted as part of the email address such as the exclamation point. Most of the other websites point to the use of Regular Expression or JavaScript. Sites specializing in creating fields in CRM do not go as far as identifying what special characters are acceptal in a email field.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!
