You can simplify this part: if ($('#chkStatus5').is(':checked')){ return true; } else { return false; }
to: return $('#chkStatus5').is(':checked'); As you can see, that's almost the same as your previous attempt; the only thing missing was the "return". -Mike On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 12:58 PM, kevin.mccormick <kevin.mccorm...@cox.net>wrote: > > Wow I finally got it... updated code here: > > > referrerother: { > required: function(element){ > if > ($('#chkStatus5').is(':checked')){ > return true; > } else { > return false; > } > }, > minlength: 1 > } > > > and example here > http://psylicyde.com/misc/jquery-validate/demo/test.html >
