I see two issues here: For one, you've nested two forms, which isn't really that well supported by browsers, and the validation plugin is unable to handle that - events are bubbled up to the parent form, which can't handle the event. I'm not sure if and how that should be handled.
The other issue is that the ignore option is applied only to the submit event validation. Validation on key or blur events doesn't respect the ignore option. Could you file a ticket for this? http://dev.jquery.com/newticket (requires registration) As a workaround: I've implemented a background-fileupload by putting the input into the main form while selecting a file, but appending it to a hidden form beneath the main one to submit it. That worked quite well. Jörn On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 3:26 AM, Jeff Strahl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Here is a simple mock up of the elements in question.
