Menu
I have a radiobutton that hides/shows a div. All visible elements are "required", but adding ignore: ":hidden" after the validation rules, doesn't work... Here's the code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#myForm").validate({
rules: {
name: "required",
age: "required",
height: "required",
ignore: ":hidden"
}
})
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="myForm" name="myForm" method="post" action="" >
<input type="radio" name="checkAge" value="adult" onclick="$('#minorRequisites').hide();" />Adult<br/>
<input type="radio" name="checkAge" value="minor" onclick="$('#minorRequisites').show()" checked="checked"/>Child<br/>
Name <input id="name" name="name" type="text" /><br/>
<div id="minorRequisites">
Age <input id="age" name="age" type="text" /><br/>
Height <input id="height" name="height" type="text" /><br/>
</div>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
I want to be able to submit the form giving only name if "Adult" is checked... Any ideas? :)

You can specify dependency expressions in your required rules to have them ignore the elements if they're not visible:
$("#myForm").validate({
rules: {
name: "required",
age: {
required: "#age:visible"
},
height: {
required: "#height:visible"
}
}
});
You can see the results in this fiddle.
EDIT: ignore will also work, but it's an option, not a rule, so you should write:
$("#myForm").validate({
ignore: ":hidden",
rules: {
name: "required",
age: "required",
height: "required"
}
});
