[jQuery] Re: Conditional required fields
I fixed the problem. It was this method:
var autoHide = function() {
memberSections.find('.section').hideExtras(memberCount.val());
youngerSections.find('.section').hideExtras(youngerMemberCount.val
());
}
I changed it to:
var autoHide = function() {
if(!$('#memberless input').is(':checked')) {
memberSections.find('.section').hideExtras(memberCount.val());
}
if(!$('#younger-memberless input').is(':checked')) {
youngerSections.find('.section').hideExtras
(youngerMemberCount.val());
}
}
So that the field validators would not be added back when the
individual sections were excluded.

http://content.constructioninst.org/corporate_renewal.html
On every page load, removeValidators will be called, which removes the
required and email validation classes found within the jQuery
object of the selector (first arg) if the caller's checkbox is
checked. The problem is if, for example, I fill out the first section
with its required fields, check the first box (which hides the bulk of
the form), choose Check for payment, and submit. If I go back, while
the hide/removeValidator method (membersUnnecessary) is called and
does indicate that the checkbox is checked (the same sections are
hidden), I cannot re-submit the form: The validation classes are not
removed.
What can I do to fix this? I know that the code's a bit clumsy, but I
can explain any specific parts if needed.

[jQuery] [validate] Conditional required fields
I have a form with a flexible number of field sets on my form. I think it'll be easier to understand if you just fiddle around a bit here: http://content.constructioninst.org/corporate_renewal.html I want to make a handful of fields be required in each field set, but only fields in visible field sets should be required. I have a mechanism to check this; the toggler I created updates a hidden field when a set is added or removed (there is one such counter field for each expandable section, Individual Members and Younger Members. Should I simply add the required class to the appropriate inputs in a field set when it's exposed, and remove them when hidden? Seems a little hackish, but maybe that's the best way. Also, if anybody has pointers for the script that's there, that would be nice :^) One thing that I still have to do is make the field set counts visible to the user, but that's more of a design question right now. Thanks, Thomas

That was it. jQuery was being loaded just before /body, so it was overwriting the jQuery object loaded earlier (via the custom page). By moving this to the top and deleting the extra script reference, I fixed the problem. Thanks!

[jQuery] The order of these conditions should not matter
Here's my JS: http://pastebin.com/m6091a365 And the accompanying HTML: http://pastebin.com/m30c57ea6 For some reason, the if($(pay_... condition that comes first gets overridden by the one that follows it. The :checked states you see in the JS are mutually exclusive because they are a part of the same radio group (as seen in the HTML). The showCC and showCheck functions work perfectly in the focus() context (they switch normally). The reason that I'm setting this up this way is so that a user will only see the payment region that they need to see. Thanks, Thomas Allen
