Using the validation plugin
(http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/), just
specify rules for fields, but leave out required:
jQuery.validator.addMethod("lettersonly", function(value, element) {
return this.optional(element) || /^[a-z]+$/i.test(value);
}, "Letters only please");
$("#myform").validate({
rules: {
firstname: {
lettersonly: true
}
}
});
