Menu
im uploading an image and trying to validate it before with jquery. Here is my code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jzaefferer.github.com/jquery-validation/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#form").validate({
errorLabelContainer: "#message_box", wrapper: "li",
rules: {
image: {required: true, accept: "jpg|jpeg|png|gif"}
},
messages: {
image: {required: 'Required!', accept: 'Not an image!'}
}
})
});
</script>
Required is working - if i insert no image i get an error. But accept isn't working (anything i insert passes) and i cant figure out why. Any ideas? :)

You need two things.
(1) use valid syntax for using accept method because it requires you to use to provide comma-separated list of mimetypes.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#form").validate({
errorLabelContainer: "#message_box", wrapper: "li",
rules: {
image: {required: true, accept: "image/jpg,image/jpeg,image/png,image/gif"}
},
messages: {
image: {required: 'Required!', accept: 'Not an image!'}
}
})
});
(2) You'll have to include the additional-methods.js because the accept methods is not included in the core validate plugin. So add following to your <head> after you include validate plugin
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.11.1/additional-methods.min.js"></script>
Here's the link to jsfiddle. Note that it includes debug: true to prevent posting of the form in fiddle.
