A new release of the validation plugin (http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/) is done, now at version 1.3. This release adds five more localizations and fixes a few bugs, eg. "asdf" is not a valid creditcard number anymore.
Major improvements went into validating a form without triggering UI feedback (http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/2215) and batch adding and removing of rules. The complete list of changes: <ul> <li>Fixed invalid-form event, now only triggered when form is invalid</li> <li>Added spanish (es), russian (ru), portuguese brazilian (ptbr), turkish (tr), and polish (pl) localization</li> <li>Added removeAttrs plugin to facilate adding and removing multiple attributes</li> <li>Added groups option to display a single message for multiple elements, via groups: { arbitraryGroupName: "fieldName1 fieldName2[, fieldNameN" }</li> <li>Enhanced rules() for adding and removing (static) rules: rules("add", "method1[, methodN]"/{method1:param[, method_n:param]}) and rules("remove"[, "method1[, method_n]") </li> <li>Enhanced rules-option, accepts space-seperated string-list of methods, eg. {birthdate: "required date"} </li> <li>Fixed checkbox group validation with inline rules: As long as the rules are specified on the first element, the group is now properly validated on click</li> <li>Fixed #2473, ignoring all rules with an explicit parameter of boolean-false, eg. required:false is the same as not specifying required at all (it was handled as required:true so far)</li> <li>Fixed #2424, with a modified patch from #2473: Methods returning a dependency-mismatch don't stop other rules from being evaluated anymore; still, success isn't applied for optional fields</li> <li>Fixed url and email validation to not use trimmed values</li> <li>Fixed creditcard validation to accept only digits and dashes ("asdf" is not a valid creditcard number)</li> <li>Allow both button and input elements for cancel buttons (via class="cancel")</li> <li>Fixed #2215: Fixed message display to call unhighlight as part of showing and hiding messages, no more visual side-effects while checking an element and extracted validator.checkForm to validate a form without UI sideeffects</li> <li>Rewrote custom selectors (:blank, :filled, :unchecked) with functions for compability with AIR</li> </ul> As always, feedback is welcome!
