I am validating a form that is submitted by an image input (input type=image), there are 3 of these inputs which either publish, save or delete the form details. If I turn javascript off and submit the form I can pick up the value of the input button used. i.e. request.form ("publish.x") = ?, if I turn javascript on and use the jQuery validate plugin it does everything excpet pass the value of the button pressed so I can't detect which button has been pressed. Any help appreciated.
[code] $(function() { $("#vml_library").validate({ ignore: "input[type=hidden]", rules: { mName: { required: true }, mSummary: { maxlength: 200 }, mDescription: { required: true }, mFile: { required: true, accept: ""+$("input[name=typeList]").val().replace(/\'/g, '').replace(/\./g, '').replace(/,/g, '|') +"" }, tFile: { required: function(element) { return $("input[name=vType]").val() > 1; }, accept: true } }, messages: { mName: { required: "Required" }, mFile: { required: "Required", accept: "Invalid File, must be " + $("input[name=typeList]").val() }, mSummary: { maxlength: "You may not use anymore than 200 characters" }, mDescription: { required: "Required" }, tFile: { required: "Required", accept: "Invalid File, must be '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif' or '.png'" } }, success: function(label) { label.addClass("valid").text("OK!"); }, highlight: function(element, errorClass) { $(element).addClass("errorInput"); }, unhighlight: function(element, errorClass) { $(element).removeClass("errorInput"); }, submitHandler: function(form) { ShowProgress(); form.submit(); } }); }); [/code]
