Hi, my english is not good enough, I hope I can explain it to you!!! I`m using this to validate:
$(document).ready(function() { var validator = $("#form1").bind("invalid-form.validate", function() { $("#summary").html("<tr><td aling='right' width='2%' class='ico'><img src='warning.gif' width='16' height='15' /></td>"+ "<td width='98%' valign='top' aling='center' class='err_validation'>"+ "<t1taglib:PrintMsg msgcode="RECOVERABLE_ERROR_MSG" /></td></tr>"); }).validate({ rules: { errorContainer: $("#summary"), input1: "required", input2: "required", input3: "required" } }); }); I have the submit button to validate that the 3 inputs are complete and redirect to page1.jsp, and the submit link that checks that only input1 is complete to opens a pop-up window. Thank! Sole.
