form fields; jquery validation

Question

i am trying to validate my form fields calling the input text ids, but jquery is not validating it. here is what i have:

email2: {// compound rule required: true, email: true
},

if i change name="email2" it works fine, but i want name="email[]" as i have an array of email that i am getting from user. so then, i gave my input text and id for jquery to validate but it doesnt validate, any ideas?

The rules are meant to be keyed by name, not id.

Something like this might work for you...

$("#form").validate({
    rules: {
        "email[]" : { /* compound rule */ }
    }
});
