Solved 1 and 2 just not the third. Anyway to detected duplicates only?
Everything I found on the net only removes duplicates.
$.validator.addMethod('keywords', function(value, element) {
var valid = true;
var valid = (value.length > 0);
var message = $(element);
if (this.optional(element)) {
return true;
}
var keywords = value.split(',');
for (var i in keywords) {
keyword = Trim(keywords[i]);
duplicates = Trim(keywords[i]);
if (!keywords[2]) {
message.parent('div').next('div').empty().append('3
required');
var valid = false;
}
else if (keywords[8]) {
message.parent('div').next('div').empty().append('8 to
many.');
var valid = false;
}
if (keyword.length < 3) {
message.parent('div').next('div').empty().append('3
characters
minimum');
var valid = false;
}
else if (keyword.length > 30) {
message.parent('div').next('div').empty().append('30
characters
maximum');
var valid = false;
}
else if (keyword.match(/\b\w+\b/g).length > 2) {
message.parent('div').next('div').empty().append('2
words in
each');
var valid = false;
}
else {
var words = keyword.split(' ');
for (var i in words) {
word = Trim(words[i]);
if (word.length < 3) {
message.parent('div').next('div').empty().append('each word 3
characters minimum');
var valid = false;
}
}
}
}
return valid;
}, false);
