I have a working example of jQuery validate working in the link below.
The newsletter checkbox is required and working. However, the "colors"
checkboxes are all named as an array ( ex: name="color[]" ), and so
the problem lies in the validation code, where it uses the name of the
element to require elements ( ex: newsletter: "required" ).
======================================================
<script>
$("#testform").validate({
rules: {
// how do i name colors below?
// colors[] ???
// fieldset#color_preference input:checkbox ???
colors: {
required: true,
minlength: 1
},
newsletter: "required"
},
messages: {
colors: "*Required",
newsletter: "*Required"
}
});
</script>
<input name="colors[]" id="1" value="1" type="checkbox" /> <label
for="1">Red</label><br/>
<input name="colors[]" id="2" value="2" type="checkbox" />
<label
for="2">Green</label><br/>
<input name="colors[]" id="3" value="3" type="checkbox" />
<label
for="3">Yellow</label><br/>
<input name="colors[]" id="4" value="4" type="checkbox" />
<label
for="4">Blue</label><br/>
<input name="colors[]" id="5" value="5" type="checkbox" />
<label
for="5">Orange</label><br/>
