  	 if (valid) 
	 {
      	        var val;
		//The value below is the index value of the sub question where your e-mail question is asked.
		//In this case we use the sub question has index 2 
 		val = document["query"][quest.label + "." + 2].value;
	            	if (val.length > 0)
			valid = validateEmail(val);
