I have an idea, though, for how you could support names like "date[]": Assumptions: - You have several inputs with the same name - These inputs are part of a collection, so all of their values are intended to be submitted (and thus need to be validated) - All of these inputs have the exact same validation rules applied to them I propose a new config option called "multi". The value of this option would be a list of input names that are associated with a collection of form fields. As a convenience to the developer, if, when searching for elements to validate, you come across an input whose name ends in "[]" (or is a "select-multiple", since the basic logic of this idea could apply to them as well), the input would be automatically added to the "multi" list. When validating the input, a check would be made to see if the input's name is in the "multi" list. If it's not, then validation continues as it always has. If the element's name is in the "multi" list, then you would collect all of the values for all of the inputs with that name and run through the validation rules you have for that input name on each of those values. -- Aaron Heimlich Web Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
