For those looking for a similar solution, here it is : $("#Form").validate({ submitHandler: function(form) { $(".multi").each(function(i){ var val = $(this).attr("name"); $(this).attr("name", val+"[]"); } ); $(form).submit(); } }); Cheers Alexander ------ portalZINE®- innovation uncovered http://www.portalzine.de dev. portalZINE® - all about development http://dev.portalzine.de pro. portalZINE® - customized experience http://pro.portalzine.de -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexander Graef Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2007 7:52 PM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Re: validation plugin: validation of checkboxes fail Hi, thanks :) How would I reference the name for the rule and message preferences ?
