ml2009,
I seem to have it working within the confines of validating multiple
email addresses within the plugin's reg exp. I made the validation
check run only if the email length is greater than one...this takes
care of the case when a user has a comma after the last email address
(i.e., this prevents validation on the empty list or empty list with
space). I also remove any whitespaces before or after each email
address. Hopefully this will help:
email: function(value, element) {
if(this.optional(element))
{
return true;
}
var valid = true;
var emails = value.split(",");
for(var i in emails)
{
emailAddress = Trim(emails[i]);
if (emailAddress.length > 0) {
valid = valid &&
/^((([a-z]|\d|[!#\$%&'\*\+\-\/=\?\^_`{\|}~]|
