All of the above selectors seem to work when tested in firebug; that is,
the proper line items (forms) are found.
1) Is it possible to validate one or more forms in a given page based on
something other than id?
2) If yes, what (probably simple thing) am I missing in the above?
3) If no, is it possible using a different approach such as adding a
button (instead of a form), detecting when any button of a given
class/type is clicked, and programatically performing the validation and
the submission?
There is currently a limitation in place that lets you validate only one
form per call to validate. So to evoid writing the call more then once
you have to write a loop:
$(".selector").each(function() {
$(this).validate(...);
});
I'm aware of the problem but won't be able to fix it until the 2.0
release due to backwards compability.
Please let me know if you've got any other issues.
