Hi *,
I've been using an old version of the Validate plugin (1.1.2) along
with the Masked Input plugin. Today, I just upgraded to Validate 1.2.1
and noticed it doesn't behave quite the same with the masked inputs.
For example, I have two date fields, the first is required and the
second is optional. Both are masked ("99/99/9999", if it helps). If I
tab through or click on the optional date field, I get a validation
error ("Please enter a valid date"; the default message) on the
optional field. I can still successfully submit the form, however.
In version 1.1.2, this did not occur. I could tab or click through the
optional date field without seeing an error. If I remove the input
mask, it also works as expected. It appears that the empty mask ("__/
__/____") is being passed to the date validation method, which, of
course, fails. Also, I understand from the changelog that there were
some non-trivial changes to how events are handled in the Validate
plugin, starting at 1.2.0. Are these changes perhaps conflicting with
the masked input plugin?
Here is a minimal example form:

View source to see the code. Changing this form to use Validate 1.1.2,
with no other changes, gives the behavior I'm after.
