HTML Form Validation via Javascript

I want to keep viewers from entering words like \”fssadf\”, and force them to enter a valid email which must contain the \”@\” in the middle and \”.\” to prevent spam and injection.

I also want the form to display an error message that says \”change the email field to the correct email\”

I use js_function.js which contain this:

function validEmail()
{   
    var reg = /^([A-Za-z0-9_\\-\\.])+\\@([A-Za-z0-9_\\-\\.])+\\.([A-Za-z]{2,4})$/;
    var email_address = $(\"#email\").val();  
    if(reg.test(email_address) == false) 
      return false;
    else
        return true;
}

but it does not prevent the viewer from sending me \”sfdasfd\” instead of a valid email.

What can I do to achieve the above?
