I believe I've found an acceptable solution that doesn't require
hacking the plugin itself.
I hope I haven't overlooked any unwanted side effects now.
I've instantiated validate like this now, essentially overwriting the
onfocusout handler:
$(myform)
.validate(
onfocusout:
function(element) {
if ( !this.checkable(element) ) {
this.element(element);
}
}
);
The original handler in the actual plugin code looks like this:
onfocusout: function(element) {
if ( !this.checkable(element) && (element.name in
this.submitted
|| !this.optional(element)) ) {
this.element(element);
}
}
As I said, it seems to behave as required by my client now, but I'm
not entirely sure I've thought of all relevant test cases.
