Validation is triggerd by 4 events that are active by default: Submit KeyUp Change Click -- for check box and radio button
To prevent KeyDown and LostFocus validation use the following options onkeyup:false, onfocusout:false, onclick:false This information is available on the validate options doc. http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/validate#toptions So, unless you are disabling the change event, your select should be re-validated on change event.
