You can use a hash to track uniqueness. In Javascript, this means an object; try this:

var emails = $('td.emails input');
var found = {};

emails.each(function() {
    var email = $(this).val();

    if (email in found) {
        // duplicate!
    } else {
        found[email] = true;
    }
});

if you need to remove duplicates you can use Jquery Unique

---

function arrUnique(arr) {
    var o = {}, i, l = arr.length, r = [];
    for(i=0; i<l;i+=1) o[arr[i]] = arr[i];
    for(i in o) r.push(o[i]);
    return r;
};


var emails = $('td.emails input');
var emailArr = [];
emails.each(function(){
     emailArr.push($(this).val());
});

emailArr = arrUnique(emailArr);

Collects all input val that i suppose have the email text and remove duplicates. emailArr is an array with all the emails. You can them convert it back to an array, with emails separated by comma:

alert( emailArr.join(',') );
