Rick, it looks ok but I have not used the validation plugin, so I have no idea what is the correct usage.
I *very strongly suggest* getting Firebug for Firefox. You will save hours of pulling out your hair, such as you are right now! It's a simple extension for Firefox that debugs your javascript as you are testing it in the browser. It appears as sort of a frame window beneath your current browser window. If there are any JS errors, it shows a red "x" - you click it and it pops open the Firebug debugging window, which shows any JS errors with the corresponding line numbers. It also shows AJAX responses which can be helpful. I can't imagine working without it at this point. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Faircloth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'jQuery Discussion.'" <discuss@jquery.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 2:11 PM Subject: Re: [jQuery] Need help implementing validation... > Thanks for responding, Josh. > > I know it's a lot of code, but I figured the problem might > be related to the other code. > > How about this part, does it look correct? > I haven't been using Firebug, but I'll check into it, too. > > Rick > > <script type="text/javascript"> > $.validator.defaults.debug = true; > $().ready(function() { > // validate Mortgage_Calculation_Form on keyup and submit > $("#Mortgage_Calculation_Form").validate({ > event: "keyup", > > rules: { > Principal: { required: true }, > Interest: { required: true }, > Years: { required: true }, > }, > messages: { > Principal: "Please enter the Principal.", > Interest: "Please enter the Interest Rate.", > Years: "Please enter the Years.", > } > }); > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Josh Nathanson > Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 2:15 PM > To: jQuery Discussion. > Subject: Re: [jQuery] Need help implementing validation... > > Rick, > > That's a lot of code for folks to look at.
