I have two fields (for sake of argument) and before the form is valid
at least one field must be filled in. They are nameFirst and nameLast.

I think one time I accomplished this by creating a "dummy" hidden input field that is only used for the validation. You can set up this dummy field so that validation fails if your OR condition is not met. I don't have the syntax in front of me but it's something like...

dummy: { required: function() { return $('#field1').val() || $('#field2').val() } }

Then you'll have to do the error placement in the right place.

I'm going to give this a little bump to see if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks!

Hello Everyone,

I've done some searching and am unable to find information on using an
ORoperatorin the JQuery Validator plugin.

There may be a simple answer to this but I am just lost. I am
competent enough with the Validator plugin to setup comparison rules,
length rules, etc. just haven't been able find any ORoperator
information yet.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Jimmy
