Hey Mark,
Sorry, I've been in the basement trying to finish up a release this week. I
hope you got that figured out, if not here are my quick thoughts. (Also,
sorry for the $j usage in the original, I use jQuery in safe mode at work.)
I would probably set a variable like:
if (containsStar >= 0) {
$(".additionalInput").show();
var requireAdditional = 'true';
}
...and then you could append your validation with something like:
if (!requireAdditional) {
// do your standard validation
} else {
// do your extended validation
}
Hope that helps.
