Hi, to solve my problem I had to change the idorName function in
jquery.validate:
idOrName: function(element) {
if (element.type != "hidden") {
return this.checkable(element) ? element.name : element.id ||
element.name;
}
if($("input[name='"+element.name+"'][type='radio']").length > 0){
return element.name;
}
},
and created a new method in additonal-methods:
jQuery.validator.addMethod("chosen", function(value, element) {
if(value != ""){
return true;
}
if($("input[name='"+element.name+"']:checked").length > 0){
return true;
}
return false;
}, "Select an option");
I thought this might help someone, and possibliy be added to a new
release of the jquery.validate.
