HTML5 itself has email validation. If your browser supports HTML5 then you can use the following code.

<form>
  <label>Email Address
    <input type="email" placeholder="[email protected]" required>
  </label>
  <input type="submit">
</form>

jsFiddle link

From the HTML5 spec:

A valid e-mail address is a string that matches the email production of the following ABNF, the character set for which is Unicode.
email   = 1*( atext / "." ) "@" label *( "." label )
label   = let-dig [ [ ldh-str ] let-dig ]  ; limited to a length of 63 characters by RFC 1034 section 3.5
atext   = < as defined in RFC 5322 section 3.2.3 >
let-dig = < as defined in RFC 1034 section 3.5 >
ldh-str = < as defined in RFC 1034 section 3.5 >
This requirement is a willful violation of RFC 5322, which defines a syntax for e-mail addresses that is simultaneously too strict (before the "@" character), too vague (after the "@" character), and too lax (allowing comments, whitespace characters, and quoted strings in manners unfamiliar to most users) to be of practical use here.

The following JavaScript- and Perl-compatible regular expression is an implementation of the above definition.
/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9](?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$/

Updating the regex as the spec on the source listed has changed.
