I think this PR still has merit.

Hi@RobJohnston,

Sorry for taking so long to review this PR. I only have one concern about this implementation. Thatno_multiple argument will always betrue whether you are setting the rule using inline HTML or in JS.

What I would like to suggest is, we add support for passing an object toemail method in JS like the following:

$("form").validate({rules:{field:{email:true|false|{multiple:true|false}}}});

Theno_multiple parameter will need to be changed toparam (or another convenient name).

Hi@Arkni . It's now my time to apologize to you for the delay! I've been away from front-end development for some time. I didn't quite understand your comment when I first read it and not sure if I do now.

From the W3, themultiple attribute is what they call aboolean attribute, but that doesn't mean that it can be set to "true" or "false". It must bemultiple="multiple" or simply justmultiple. To represent a false value, the attribute has to be omitted altogether. Does that change your suggestion where you wrote:

multiple:true|false
