Re: [U] Email Validation Issue

[Norris Shelton]

I wrote one that appears to work.  I copied the contents of TegexFieldValidator 
to get it to work.  Is there a need for more of the validators to support 
collections?

AFAIK the validations will validate only a single object; I believe you'd need 
custom validation either via a validate() method, custom validator, etc.
