[jQuery] Re: using depends method with Validate() plugin

[luke adamis]

Is there a reason for this to not work?

other_product_interest: {
required: #product_interest[0]:checked
},

product_interest[] is a list of checkboxes, if user picks 'other' ,  
#product_interest[0] then user must fill the text filed:  
other_product_interest.


Thanks,
Luke

I guess you have to escape that ID: jQuery interprets that as element
with id product_interest and an attribute named '0'.

Thanks,
That did it.
Now I have another issue:

these checkboxes must be names like an array:

product_interest[]

but in the rules I can't have this:

product_interest[]: required,

I know I can insert code in HTML:
class=required

but I would rather have it in the rules.

Is there any way to do that?

OK

this works:

current_password: {
minlength: 6,
required: {
depends: #new_password:filled
  }
},


I still need to figure out how to get a value recognized:

zip: {
required: {
depends: #countrycode:'1'
  }
 },

Hi,

I am using the Validate() plugin for various forms and I run into
this issue with the depends method on various places.

So far I found only two references to dealing with depends:

http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/validate

$(.selector).validate({
rules: {
  contact: {
required: true,
email: {
  depends: function(element) {
return $(#contactform_email:checked)
  }
}
  }
}
})

http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/2456

billingAddress: {
   required:true,
   minlength:5
   equalTo: {
 param: #shippingaddress,
 depends: #compare:checked
   }
}

first of all non of these work for me so there must be something
going on with them. but my real problem is that I want validation
depending on fields other then checkboxes.

1. I only want to require zip code if the selected country from a
drop down list is USA.

something like this:

zip: {
required: {
depends: #countrycode:1
}
},

where countrycode represents the country selector and 1 is the value
for USA

2. in a from for password change I only want to require current
password if new password is entered.
something like this:

current_password: {
minlength: 6,
required: {
depends: #new_password
}
},

with this one I'd assume that if new_password is not empty then set
the rule.

I also found this page:
http://dev.distilldesign.com/log/2008/mar/16/extending-jquery-form-
validation-plugin/
http://lab.distilldesign.com/jquery-form-validation/extending/

this one works, though he uses checkboxes as well. here he basically
extends the validate() plugin:

$.validator.addMethod('dependsOn', function (value, el, params) {
return !$(params.el).is(params.being) || 
$(el).is(':filled');
}, 'This field is required.');

then he uses the new method in the rule:

emailDependent: {
dependsOn: {
el: '#emailMethod',
being: ':checked'
},
email: true
},


I am not a javascript wizard so this method writing is getting my
head dizzy. Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way of using
depends in rules for validate() plugin?

Thanks,
Luke

Either depends: #countrycode[value=1] or depends: function() {
return $(#countrycode).val() == '1'; }
