How to ignore validating Text and Select in jQuery

How to ignore validating Text and Select in jQuery

Hi,

I have been searching the net for the past 5 days trying to find a way to ignore validating hidden fields that are both, select and text, but I was not able to find any supporting form.

By Default, jQuery ignores the hidden fields as long as they are text fields, but when I use ignore: "select:visible" the whole validation stops working.

What I am trying to do is:

when choosing a gender, 5 fields appear depending if the gender is male/female or Company.

For some reason the text fields are working gr8, but the validation of the select fields doesn't work.

Can anyone provide an example on such?

Thank you.
