Re: [jQuery] Re: (validate) form field validation with field id doesn't work.
Hi there , thanks for your reply. So, you mean we need to have a "label" tag? Can we skip that label tag. Also, I wanted to apply css changes based on the id. Let;s say If we have multiple checkboxes and use multiple selections, then we want to show some different css on selected once. Orafter every 5 checkboxes, add some css to make some kind of distinction. So, for that it would be easier if we have access to ids. and not the name..

Hi, multiple fields should not have the same 'name' in a form. If you need first name for two parts of a form, then you should give a more explicit name to the input : ex. first name for shipping could be 'firstNameShip' and first name for billing could be 'firstNameBill' etc. The reason is because you should be using labels that are assigned through the 'for' attribute to an input, giving greater accessibility. This also makes for a more semantic name scheme than firstName1.

Re: [jQuery] Re: (validate) form field validation with field id doesn't work.
yeah . that's what I think would be some confusion coz it might be that multiple fields that have same name but Ids would be unique throughout page. So, I was really wondering, if there is any way to setup rules and validations based on ids and ignore names completely.

[jQuery] Re: (validate) form field validation with field id doesn't work.
If you change the name of your field, you'd have to change your rules in the validation options from "firstname" to "firstname1" also.
