Seems a simple regular expression test would work. I've used it for
form validation in the past. Something like this:
emailList = "[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
emailArray = emailList.split(",")
$.each(emailArray, function(index, item){
item = item.replace(/^\s|\s$/g, '');
if (item.search(/^([EMAIL PROTECTED],4})$/) == -1){
alert("Not a valid e-mail address: "+item);
}
});
If you aren't familiar w/ regular expressions, there are multiple
references and tutorials online that break them down. Chapter 10 in
David Flanagan's "Javascript: the definitive guide" (the rhino book
(o'reilly)) is pretty good as well.
I've tested the above and it will flag "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
as an invalid e-mail address. Here's what the code does:
- breaks the comma separated list of addresses into an array of
addresses
- iterates over that array of items
- strips any whitespace from the beginning or end of each address
- searches for valid address constuction
- flags any that aren't properly formatted
The regex can be adapted to fit more specific needs, if you need or
desire.
