Hi
I am having problem with this, in CakePHP it outputs the thml for a
checkbox as the following:
<div class="input checkbox">
<input id="CoverAgreed_" type="hidden" value="0" name="data[Cover]
[agreed]"/>
<input id="CoverAgreed" class="" type="checkbox" value="1"
name="data[Cover][agreed]"/>
<label for="CoverAgreed">do you agree to the terms?</label>
</div>
I have been unbale to get a validation to ensure the checkbox is
checked .
Here is my option code:
$("#CoverAddForm").validate({
ignore: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ,
rules: {
'data[Cover][agreed]': {
required: true
}
}
I am very new to jQuery and this plugin, so I realise I am probably
missing something simple!
the problem is that CakePHP checkbox creates 2 checkboxes, with same
name, but different ID. I realise it is not possible to use the ID in
Validate plugin.
thank you for a great plug-in by the way,
Luke
