Hi, the problem i have is that I have a group of radio buttons
associated with a hidden field like this:
<input type="hidden" name="data[User][gender]" value=""
id="UserGender_" />
<input type="radio" name="data[User][gender]" id="UserGenderF"
value="f" />
<label for="UserGenderF">Female</label>
<input type="radio" name="data[User][gender]" id="UserGenderM"
value="m" />
<label for="UserGenderM">Male</label>
and I have the following validation rule for the element:
"data[User][gender]":"required"
the validation doesn't work , it always shows an error whether the
radio buttons are selected or not.
Please help.
The required-method doesn't support mixed types. In your setup, only the
hidden field is validated, which is always invalid.
You could implement a custom required-method for this case. Take a look
at the current required-implementation for reference validating the
group of radio buttons.
