Could we pass in filtering settings to validate the same way rules/messages are passed? This would solve my problem, I would pass in .not("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")) and the hidden fields would be ignored while Dan wouldn't pass in any filters so his hidden fields would be validated.
That sounds like a reasonable approach. How about "ignore", eg.
$("#myform").validate({ ignore: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" }); With jQuery's multi-filter ability you can exclude several elements at once. -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de
