I have a special application that I am trying to get the jQuery
Validation Plugin to work. All the elements on my page are encased
inside of a table, and I don't have the ability to apply classes
directly to the validated elements (<input>, etc). The classes must
come on the table elements:
<table>
<tr>
<td class="required">
<input id="myinput"></input>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Either I need to be able to make a standard way to validate the entire
form with all the standard out-of-the-box validators using the strict
format listed above, or I need to change the plugin to work with my
application. Which is easier, and how could I approach this?
I've had some luck by manually attaching validation by using the
following code:
$(".required input").each(function() {
$(this).rules("add", {
required: true
});
});
but, I would rather use the plugin instead of having to go through all
the standard validations and manually applying them. It would also
help for custom validations, as it will take less code to use the
plugin methods directly.
Any help is appreciated.
