[validate] Validate based on other fields
Hi all,
I'm just getting to grips with this Validation plug-in but would like
to check whether something is possible.
I would like to run validation on a field based on values from other
parts of the form.
I realise that this is possible with the required field, i.e.
required: function(element) { return jQuery("#textarea1").val ==
'buga' && jQuery("#textarea2").val != 'booga' }
But this is also possible for the other functions? i.e. the same as
above but for maxLength?
maxLength: function(element) { return jQuery("#textarea1").val ==
'buga' && jQuery("#textarea2").val != 'booga' }
The reason I ask is that I would like to apply validation but not
necessarily have the form field as mandatory.
Many thanks,
Steve
