Hi, I am new to jQuery. I follow the example on
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Methods/email to add rules
to a form validator. When I modified the rules to email: true
(required: false), the script seems to stall there, no error message
nor a check. Can someone tell me if I am doing anything wrong here?
What I want is to let the validation pass if the optional fields are
valid when they are filled or they are left out empty.
I can, of course add an extra script like...
if (($("#field").val() == "") || $("#field").valid()) {
optionalValid = true;
}
But it seems very redundant considering the rules: { field: {email:
true, required: false}}, with or without the default required: false
option.
Thanks
