Hi all, I think this is a rather rare situation but it happens in our apps all the time.
The layout is like --- Search Result---- <table> .... <tr> [checkbox] status [input text] [input text] [textarea] </tr> .... </table> [Delete button] [Reject Button] [Update Button] There are different case of validation: - when press delete button, validate if checkbox is checked only - when press reject button, validate if checkbox is checked and status is not rejected - when press update button, validate that all fields are filled and format correct. For the time being, I use some rude way to do so... var setting1 = {...}; var setting2 = {...}; var setting3 = {...}; $("#delete").click(function(){ var f = $("#form")[0]; $.removeDate(f, 'validator'); f.validate(setting1).submit(); }); //... similar for the reject and update button Any better way to do this? Or I should not use validation plugin under this situation?
