Hi Roryreiff - thank you so much.
Someone helped me out the other day. Here is another version:
multiemail: function(value, element) {
if (this.optional(element)) // return true on optional
element
return true;
var emails = value.split( new RegExp( "\\s*,\\s*", "gi" ) );
valid = true;
for(var i in emails) {
value = emails[i];
valid=valid &&
jQuery.validator.methods.email.call(this, value,
element);
}
return valid;
},
