Thanks James I appreciate you replying. I'm still having some
trouble, even with your additions. I changed the checkbox to radio
buttons. I added this code snippet to get the value of the checked
radio. Yes == 1 and No == 0, if the user selects No (0) then the
billling address fields need to be required. Does this make sense?
$("input.billing_addr_grp").click(function() {
var billing_address = $("[name=billing_addr]:checked").val();
})
Then the rules:
$('#transaction').validate({
rules: {
first: "required",
last: "required",
billing_first: {
required: function() { return billing_address
== 0; }
},
billing_last: {
required: function() { return billing_address
== 0; }
}
I still can't get them to only be required when the value of the radio
button is 0. Any more thoughts?
Thanks,
MD
