As you see in the above image if a user does not provide valid input fields then we will show an error using a query on the top of the page. and if the user provides all the details and if the details are valid then we will show a submitted message on the top of the page as you see in the given image below.

Also, feel free to add your own code or CSS for styling the page.  because here am only focusing on the javascript part not much on the styling part.

Explanation

Here first of all we create two div elements errormessage and success inside the wrapper div. these two elements are responsible for showing the error and success messages on the top of the form. at the beginning of the loading of form, these two div will not show because we set the style to none for these two elements.

[br]

after that, we created a form element inside which we created four input fields, for Email, Telephone, Password, and Confirm Password, and a Sign-Up button.

[br]

now using jquery we will validate the form. first of all, we have created an isEmail function that will take email as an argument and then validate it using regular expression. after that, we set a click action on the Sign-Up button. and check for all the fields in the form.

[br]

we will also check if the email is valid. if the phone number is not numeric and the password is not matching with confirm password field. and if there is any error then we will show all the errors or if the fields are valid then it will show the Form Submitted message on the top of the page.
