Hmmm
cant get any reaction from the validation code.
Heres my script and html
whats wrong with it?
(Ive included my show/hide script and my CalculateMortgage
script in case theres a conflict)
The Mortgage Calculation still runs fine, but when I submit the
form without an entry I get a CF error stating that the expression
that calculates the payment cant be evaluated.
Isnt the validation code supposed to prevent submission when
a form field is blank? And in this case, with debug on, it should
stop all submissions?
But, it's pretty much like the validation code is not even active.
I don't get any kind of response from it.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Rick

Princial: Required Add your own validation method, using the mentioned
regex. Something like this:
$.validator.addMethod("numeric", function(value) {
return /myregex/.test(value);
});
Interest: required + number
Years: required + number
Watch out for the beta 1 release, that improves a lot of things. I see
if I can get to improve the method examples too.
