Hi Jörn, Thanks for reply, now here the context why I need to use "*id*" instead of "*name*" I have a form somethink like this:
<form> <div class="box-col-l"> <div class="det-prpty"><label for="FirstName">First Name:*</label></div> <div class="det-value"><input id="txtPersonFirstName" name="Order.CustomerPerson.FirstName" type="text" value="" /></div> <div class="det-prpty"><label for="LastName">Last Name:*</label></div> <div class="det-value"><input id="txtPersonLastName" name="Order.CustomerPerson.LastName" type="text" value="" /></div> <div class="det-prpty"><label for="Email">Email:*</label></div> <div class="det-value"><input id="txtPersonEmail" name="Order.CustomerPerson.Email" type="text" value="" /></div> <div class="det-prpty"><label for="Telephone">Telephone:*</label></div> <div class="det-value"><input id="txtAddressPhoneNumber" name="Order.Address.PhoneNumber" type="text" value="" /></div> <div class="det-prpty"><label for="Company">Company:</label></div> <div class="det-value"><input id="txtPersonCompany" name="Order.CustomerPerson.Company" type="text" value="" /></div> </div> </form> so, as you can see the name attribute is already used for server side processing, it's .net syntax doesn't work within validate plugin for construction {rules:{ fieldName:"value" } } Certainly, I can add rules for each form input separately using $("#inputId").rules(), but it looks a bit ugly if we have many fields are been validated Stani 2009/7/30 Jörn Zaefferer <joern.zaeffe...@googlemail.com> > > The plugin supports only names, you'd have to hack the plugin to change > that. > > If you provide some context on why you think you need that, it would > be easier to propose a solution. > > Jörn > > On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 8:15 AM, zaka29<zak...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > Please give advise, how to assign rules for form elements using their > > ids attributes instead of "name" e.g > > > > rules:{ > > name: "required", //plugin retrieves form element by name, > > but should be "id" > > email: "required" > > } > > > > Thanks > > >
