Sorry. </p> <p>I would like to use the standard email field. But, I'd like to add an advanced option or two to it.</p> <p>It could be similar to the current "Enable Email Confirmation" -- a simple checkbox. If the admin selects it, then my validation runs on the field upon submission. </p> <p>In my case, I think I'd like to add two options.</p> <p>- "Require a somedomain.com address"<br /> - "Validate email address by attempting delivery"</p> <p>Selecting either one of those would fire off the gform_validation hook code, which I'd write.</p> <p>Is it possible to add options like this to the existing email field (and other fields)? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/validating-email-addresses-ie-attempting-delivery#post-193589 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:34:32 +0000 Chris Hajer 193589@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm not sure what you mean about adding options.
