[jQuery] Re: validation plugin and ui tabs
Well, you can have as many form elements as you want on a page, but you can only have one form runat=server element per page. Not sure if that will help you any.

[jQuery] Re: validation plugin and ui tabs
Varun, I've actually solved a problem like this for the company that I work for. I have 5 tabs, all located within 1 form. I also had to label the tabs that had errors and focus the first one that had errors. This is simply unachievable without a bit of hacking with the .validate() plugin. Don't get me wrong, it's a great plugin, but doesn't scale very well when posed with a very high level problem, not to mention it can get slow when validating a lot of fields. Because of this, I have written something for myself that may be of use to you. It is still in alpha stages and I have a lot of changes and fixes that I want to work on, but it is quite effective and it may help you quite bit with your problem here. http://shugartweb.com/jquery/form/ The documentation is generated from the doc blocks in the code, so it's fairly well documented, but lacking examples. Let me know if you like it. Suggestions, changes, collaboration is all welcome.

It is being used and is stable in an enterprise environment so I shouldn't say alpha. The only reason I said that was because I do want to do a lot more work to it and the api might change.

[jQuery] Re: validation plugin and ui tabs
I was checking it on the link that you sent me , so do you think I need it to have form tag seperately in each tab ... and then use it or I can just use aspnetForm... The problem is how in each tab i will have different validation ... Like tab1 will have textbox1 and submitbutton1...tab2 will have textbox2 and submitbutton2 and so on... now if I press submnitbutton1 .. it should only validate textbox1 aqnd if i click submitbutton2 it should only validate textbox2 another problem... suppose in any of textbox I am using autocomplete plugin and when page loads ... Auto-Suggest keyword is written in textbox in that case validation fails as it looks for empty textbox is there any work around for that ? can you write a small some pseudo code for that ? thanks varun On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 2:55 PM, tres treshug...@gmail.com wrote: It is being used and is stable in an enterprise environment so I shouldn't say alpha.
