[jQuery] Re: validating dynamically generated data

[Jörn Zaefferer]

You need to run that validation on submit, too. If you don't need
remote validation, you can still use the validation plugin and
implement the logic you have as a custom method:

[jQuery] Re: validating dynamically generated data

[jpl80]

I figured it out... mostly:

$(document).ready(function() {
$("div.instock input.order-qty").keyup(function(){
var x = parseInt($(this).val());
var y = 
parseInt($(this).siblings("span.qty").attr("title"));
if (x > y) {
$(this).siblings("span.error").text("Not enough 
in stock"); 
} else {
$(this).siblings("span.error").text("");

}
});

});

however, it still allows the user to submit the form. How do I stop them
from being able to submit the for if the quantity they ordered is over the
limit?

I've looked at that. But data I need to compare is right there on the page!
All I want to do is say:

On keyup () {
  var x = getCurrentValue(input);
  var y = getCurrentValue("div.qty");
  if (x > y) {
error("not enough in stock");
  }
}

[pedalpete]

Have you checked out the validate plugin?
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/validate

Their is a method they have where you can actually run an ajax call to
your server to check for a valid input, or you could use it with your
statically set value as you have already done.
