selector - how to get input type email's value from jquery -


i trying <input type="email" name="mail">'s value jquery.
i've run validation checking mail's value

<script>     function valid(){         var em = $.trim($('input:email[name=mail]').val());         if(em.length < 5){             alert('please enter email id');             return false;         }         return true;     } </script> 

but form still submitting if user left mail blank.
i've gone through jquery api doc not found selector email. why so?
why not present there , how solve problem?

you do:

$.trim($("input[name='mail']").val());
