Javascript validation

Question

I have this code and it still passes validation without an @ symbol

function validateEmail()

      {

         var emailID = document.myForm.EMail.value;

         atpos = emailID.indexOf("@");

         dotpos = emailID.lastIndexOf(".");

         if (atpos < 1 || ( dotpos - atpos < 2 ))

         {

            alert("Please enter correct email ID")

            document.myForm.EMail.focus() ;

            return false;

         }

         return( true );

      }
