So it seems im still having some issues..
this is my html
<form id="new_blog_post" class="new_blog_post" method="post" action="/
blog_posts">
<p>
<label for="blog_post_title">Title</label>
<br/>
<input id="blog_post_title" type="text" size="30" name="blog_post
[title]"/>
</p>
<p>
<label for="blog_post_body">Body</label>
<br/>
<textarea id="blog_post_body" rows="5" name="blog_post[body]"
cols="28"/>
</p>
<p>
<label for="blog_post_author">Author</label>
<br/>
<input id="blog_post_author" type="text" size="30" name="blog_post
[author]"/>
</p>
<p>
<label for="blog_post_permalink">Permalink</label>
<span class="small_text">A hyphen separated title for URL's e.g. my-
title</span>
<br/>
<input id="blog_post_permalink" type="text" size="30" name="blog_post
[permalink]"/>
</p>
<p>
<input id="blog_post_submit" class="btn" type="submit" value="Submit"
name="commit"/>
</p>
</form>
and this is my js placed after the jQuery and jquery.validate scripts.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#new_blog_post').validate({
rules: {
"blog_post[title]": "required",
"blog_post[body]": "required",
"blog_post[author]": "required"
},
messages: {
"blog_post[title]": "You must enter a title.",
"blog_post[body]": "You cant have a blog without a blog..?",
"blog_post[author]": "You must supplay an author name"
}
});
});
Any ideas?
