Sorry, here's a fix of the rules ('input' is suppose to be 'select')
(these are untested):
options = {
rules: {
mySelect: { required:true },
myfield1: {
required: function() {
return ($("select[name=mySelect]").val() == '1');
}
},
myfield2: {
required: function() {
return ($("select[name=mySelect]").val() == '1');
}
},
myfield3: {
required: function() {
return ($("select[name=mySelect]").val() == '2');
}
},
myfield4: {
required: function() {
return ($("select[name=mySelect]").val() == '2');
}
}
}
}
