[jQuery] Re: Resetting validation rules dynamically
I see one thing I've done wrong above; the arguments to the method provided to addMethod() should be (value, element) rather than just (element). Unfortunately having changed this, it's still not working; rather than getting a silent failure, the validation check is still being applied to the element which shouldn't need it any more... Any ideas? Latest attempt: http://www.kapowaz.net/files/conditional-validation.html

You need to make sure that your custom method checks for optional elements. Check those additional methods for examples: http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/additional-methods.js Jörn On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 2:20 PM, kapowaz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Alright, I've found the bug with the above code (the callback function itself doesn't return true or false; only the anonymous method inside it does), and corrected it.

[jQuery] Re: Resetting validation rules dynamically
I'm trying to modify my custom method, as follows:
$.validator.addMethod('expiryDate', function(element){
var presentDate = new Date();
var selectedDateHash = parseInt($('#select-cardpayment-
expirymonth').val(), 10) + parseInt(($('#select-cardpayment-
expiryyear').val() * 12), 10);
var presentDateHash = (presentDate.getMonth()+1) +
(presentDate.getFullYear() * 12);
return this.optional(element) || selectedDateHash
presentDateHash;
}, parseMessageText('errors.paymentForm.cardPayment.expiryDate'));
Unfortunately this doesn't work either; in fact, in Firefox the
validation silently fails to execute /at all/ once I call
this.optional(). I can't even reference it with the Firebug console
without it stopping JS execution. What gives? I wasn't even aware such
a method existed...?
