[jQuery] Re: toggleClass and {required:true}

[Luc Pestille]

Can you give me an example of it in use - I'm currently just using;

$("#admin-jobs").validate();

Should I be using (where two things are required) it like this?:

$("#admin-jobs").validate(
        required: "select#salary_lower:filled"
        required: "select#salary_higher:filled"
        required: function() {
                // only required when the second option is selected
                return jQuery("select#jobtype")[0].selectedIndex == 1;
        }
);


Thanks,
Luc

Luc,

there are two possible solutions: Hack the metadata plugin by setting metaDone 
on the "toggled" element to false. That causes the metadata to be read again. I 
recommend a different approach: Use the required-with-dependency feature to 
make the validation more dynamic. 
You can use both jQuery expressions and functions as the argument to required, 
for example:

// required only when field #someValue is not blank
required: "input#someValue:filled"
required: function() {
        // only required when not the first option is selected
        return jQuery("select#month")[0].selectedIndex != 0; }

I hope you get the idea, let me know if it works for you.

Jörn
