I have really tried to figure out how to do this, but I can't figure
it out by what you wrote here. Can you please tell me more?
Here's where I thought I should be attempting this. The "validator"
var points to the return of $('#aspnetForm').validate()...
$ddlCountries.change(function() {
var $phoneNumber = $('#phoneNumber');
if (validator && $phoneNumber.val() != '') {
//TODO: What do I add before this validator.element call in
order to
clear the value cache for the element?
validator.element($phoneNumber);
}
});
