Try a regular expression search for multiple occurrences of "@".
var pattern = new RegExp("/@{2,}/");
var fieldValue = "john at aol.com, kim at aol.com";
var result = fieldValue.match(pattern);
if (result != null) {
//multiple @s found
}

Subject: [Javascript] Email validation question
I'm having trouble finding the answer I need in my JavaScript books
regarding client-side JavaScript validation.
Typical email validation routines include:
if (document.form.formfield.value.indexOf("@") == -1)
However I need to make sure that a user doesn't enter 2 or more email
addresses in the form field and this only tests to see if there are no @
characters. How do I code it to test for 0 and 2 or more?
Thanks
