Using jquery validate with multiple fields of the same name
<p>I am trying to get jquery validate to work on multiple fields.  Reason being I have dynamically generated fields added and they are simply a list of phone numbers from none to as many as required.  A button adds another number.  </p>

<p>So I thought I'd put together a basic example and followed the concept from the accepted answer in the following link:</p>

<p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931687/using-jquery-validate-plugin-to-validate-multiple-form-fields-with-identical-name">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931687/using-jquery-validate-plugin-to-validate-multiple-form-fields-with-identical-name</a></p>

<p>However, it's not doing anything useful.  Why is it not working?</p>

&lt;script&gt;
  $("#submit").click(function(){
    $("field").each(function(){
      $(this).rules("add", {
        required: true,
        email: true,
        messages: {
          required: "Specify a valid email"
        }
      });   
    })
  });


  $(document).ready(function(){
    $("#myform").validate();
  });
&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;

&lt;form id="myform"&gt;
  &lt;label for="field"&gt;Required, email: &lt;/label&gt;
  &lt;input class="left" id="field" name="field" /&gt;
  &lt;input class="left" id="field" name="field" /&gt;
  &lt;input class="left" id="field" name="field" /&gt;
  &lt;input class="left" id="field" name="field" /&gt;
  &lt;br/&gt;
  &lt;input type="submit" value="Validate!" id="submit" name="submit" /&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
