are you using the validate plugin? i'm not familiar with it at all,
but for a simple validation like this you could do:
// DOM-ready handler
$(function() {
// Listen for "onsubmit" events for the form
$("#signupForm").submit(function() {
// Get the checkbox
var checkbox = $("#chkStatus5");
// True or false based on the checkbox
var checked = checkbox[0].checked;
// If its checked...
if (checked) {
// ...grab the textfield...
var text = $("#textfield");
// ...and its value
var val = text.val();
// If the textfield is empty...
if (val === "") {
// ...validation failed,
// so do something!
}
}
});
});
hope that helps.
