jQuery Forum

Brand new to all this and also to the forum - so firstly forgive if in the wrong place or been asked before. I have searched and I don't see this - so here goes.

I have a form that, amongst other things, has a field called width which I want to validate to be within an acceptable range. The values should be constrained by 2 hidden fields on the form called min_width and max_width. These are specified in the validate() function under the rules: option as so:

All seems to work well in that it reports incorrect values and accepts those within the correct range.

However, it is possible using a selection drop down to select a different product (value of win_stl changes). In such a case, I fire of an Ajax request to the server to get the new details for the product including potentially new values for min_width and max_width.

But the bigger problem after having done a new selection which does have different values for the constraint pairs and keying a new value in is that the Validator appears to be still using the previous constraints. I have checked that the new values have been loaded into the form by viewing the same in Firebug.

I will try and create a simple cut down version if this to see if it behaves the same.

But any help/hints on either of the issues would be most helpful and greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks
