I'm doing some manipulation of my new and edit forms using javascript and jQuery. I'm able to find all the people pickers on the page with the following selector
var $pickers = $('div[title="People Picker"]');
but I haven't been able to figure out how to tell if each picker is a single person or multiperson. These are the old-style people pickers not the client-side pickers. I'm looking through the html and not seeing anything that would directly indicate which kind of people column the picker is for.
The multipicks do have a line that says Enter users separated with semicolons. so I could check for that, but that seems pretty sketchy.
I know that the new client people pickers have a dictionary object on the page and that can be used to determine if a client-side people picker is single or multiple by
SPClientPeoplePicker.SPClientPeoplePickerDict["<name>_TopSpan"].AllowMultipleUsers
Is anything similar for the old style people pickers. I've also looked through the entityeditor.js file, but can't find anything to help. Any tips on how to do this properly?
