function ValidationCheck() {
	if ((CvFORM.cvEmail.value)!=re.test){
	alert("invalid e-mail address, 
 		you must enter a valid address such as your [email]name@yourisp.com[/email]");	
	return false;
        }

return true;
}
//-->
</script>

Define "won't work" Pablo.

i want it to display an alert box if there the re part isn't happy.

The alert() should be all on one line anyway.
