I'm trying to create an email generator (for personal use) which needs an input of first and lastname then uses a list of domain names in an array I created. Got the idea from this site and tweaked it a bit for what I am needing.
Here's the sample code.
function permutate(form) {
var firstlastname = form.firstlastname.value.toLowerCase().trim();
var namesplit = firstlastname.split(" ");
var firstname = namesplit[0];
var lastname = namesplit[1];
var domain = ['gmail.com','yahoo.com','hotmail.com','msn.com','outlook.com','live.com','me.com','aol.com','mac.com'];
if (firstname==null || firstname==""){
document.getElementById("results").innerHTML= "At least enter a first name to get started!";
return false;
} else if (lastname==null || lastname==""){
document.getElementById("results").innerHTML= "Come on!, enter a last name!";
return false;
} else {}
for (var i=0; i<domain.length;i++)
var p1 = firstname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p2 = firstname + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p3 = firstname + "." + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p4 = firstname.charAt(0) + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p5 = firstname.charAt(0) + "." + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p6 = firstname + lastname.charAt(0) + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p7 = firstname + "." + lastname.charAt(0) + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p8 = firstname.charAt(0) + lastname.charAt(0) + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p9 = firstname + "_" + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p10 = firstname.charAt(0) + "_" + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p11 = lastname + firstname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p12 = lastname + "." + firstname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p13 = lastname + firstname.charAt(0) + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p14 = lastname + "." + firstname.charAt(0) + "@" + domain[i];
var addresses= p1 + p2 + p3 + p4 + p5 + p6 + p7 + p8 + p9 + p10 + p11 + p12 + p13 + p14;
document.getElementById("results").innerHTML= addresses;
}
the result would just print the last value on the array which is always "mac.com" so it would be "[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]..."
I was thinking that it would display all possible combinations like
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]...
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]...
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]...
etc..
Am I doing it correctly, or is there something I need to add or can it be done?
I've been banging my head as I just recently learned coding and would need guidance from the pros here.
I was thinking of doing it the long way but I think I would have a very long code.
firstname + "@" + "gmail.com" + ",";
firstname + lastname + "@" + "yahoo.com" + ","
Edit : started from scratch again and will proceed on a different approach based on the comments below.

I tried a little bit around and got this as result. You can see the code here:
html:
<form name="names">
<input type="text" id="box1" name="firstlastname" placeholder="Luke Skywalker"><br>
<br>
<input type="submit" id="button-make" value="Make Variations" onClick="permutate(this.form);return false;">
</form>
<input type="submit" id="button-reset" value="Reset" onClick="reset('results');return false;">
<div id="results"></div>
css:
#form {
margin-top: 20px;
}
input[type] {
font-size: 25px;
font-family: arial;
}
#box1 {
width: 317px;
padding: 10px 12px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border: 1px solid rgb(200, 200, 200);
border-top-color: rgb(100, 100, 100);
border-radius: 5px;
color: #5A5A5A;
}
#button-reset {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
#button-make,
#button-reset {
float: left;
}
#button-reset {
margin: 0 0 0 10px;
}
#results {
position: relative;
height: 200px;
display: block;
overflow: auto;
margin-top: 45px;
padding: 15px;
border: 1px solid rgb(200, 200, 200);
/*border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(200,200,200);*/
background: rgb(245, 245, 245);
color: rgb(50, 50, 50);
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 36px;
font-family: arial;
}
javascript:
function permutate(form) {
var firstlastname = form.firstlastname.value.toLowerCase().trim();
var namesplit = firstlastname.split(" ");
var firstname = namesplit[0];
var lastname = namesplit[1];
var arr = [];
var domain = ['gmail.com', 'yahoo.com', 'hotmail.com', 'msn.com', 'outlook.com', 'live.com', 'me.com', 'aol.com', 'mac.com'];
if (firstname == null || firstname == "") {
document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = "At least enter a first name to get started!";
return false;
} else if (lastname == null || lastname == "") {
document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = "Come on!, enter a last name!";
return false;
} else {
for (var i = 0; i < domain.length; i = i + 1) {
var p1 = firstname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p2 = firstname + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p3 = firstname + "." + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p4 = firstname.charAt(0) + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p5 = firstname.charAt(0) + "." + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p6 = firstname + lastname.charAt(0) + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p7 = firstname + "." + lastname.charAt(0) + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p8 = firstname.charAt(0) + lastname.charAt(0) + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p9 = firstname + "_" + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p10 = firstname.charAt(0) + "_" + lastname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p11 = lastname + firstname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p12 = lastname + "." + firstname + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p13 = lastname + firstname.charAt(0) + "@" + domain[i] + ",";
var p14 = lastname + "." + firstname.charAt(0) + "@" + domain[i];
var addresses = p1 + " " + p2 + " " + p3 + " " + p4 + " " + p5 + " " + p6 + " " + p7 + " " + p8 + " " + p9 + " " + p10 + " " + p11 + " " + p12 + " " + p13 + " " + p14;
arr.push(addresses)
}
}
var innertext = document.getElementById("results");
innertext.innerHTML = arr;
}
I changed the {}
for else part and the if loop and added the an array which holds the results. Then I used the push
function to fill my array and the last step is to set the innerHTML
to the content of the array
