Try jquery validation plugin to validate textbox.
// Code to accept multile mails
jQuery.validator.addMethod("multiemail", function (value, element) {
if (this.optional(element)) {
return true;
}
var emails = value.split(','),
valid = true;
for (var i = 0, limit = emails.length; i < limit; i++) {
value = emails[i];
valid = valid && jQuery.validator.methods.email.call(this, value, element);
}
return valid;
}, "Invalid email format: please use a comma to separate multiple email addresses.");
The above function should be used in validation js
var validator = $("#frmlogin").validate({
errorElement: 'div',
rules: {
email: {
required: true,
email: true,
multiemail: true
}
});
