Rob,
By not working I mean that it now will not return an error message
when the first input is a well formed email. So, I could put in the
following (correctly formed email, incorrectly formed email + and
number of items) and it is validating that field, i.e. not producing
the error message. I want it to only validate when all the input email
addresses are well formed.
I will look into what you have put above, though I am wondering if
there is something I am missing with what I have so far that will
force the validation plugin email method, which I have adapted, to
consider all the inputs in the to field. It seems to only be taking
into consideration the first. Perhaps the problem exists in using a
for loop? Is that loop ending as soon as a well formed email address
is encountered?
Thanks so much for the help,
