FYI, i added the following two lines to my custom function, and all
is well.
$.fn.validateForm = function() {
var elems = this[0].elements || this;
elems = $($.merge(elems, []));
elems.each(function() {
// do custom validation stuff with each element
}
}
(FYI, i need the ability to pass a set of elements to this function,
because sometimes i want to perform validation on every element (by
passing form.elements), and sometimes i want to pass a subset of
elements (to validate part of a form) for reasons that are esoteric
to the site i'm working on.)
thanks brandon and everyone,
