[jQuery] If statement in form validation
Hi There,
I could use some help here. I need to place a condition statement
(if) in this form validation script. For some reason, I just can't
get it to work. Basically, when a user un-checks a particular box
(billing_addr) additional form fields slide down, those fields need to
be validated. If the box is checked the fields roll-up, become
disable and can be skipped. What's the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks,
MD
$(document).ready(function() {
var billing_address = $("input[name='billing_addr']:!checked").val();
$.metadata.setType("validate");
$('#mysampleform').validate({
rules: {
first: "required",
last: "required",
address: "required",
city: "required",
state: "required",
country: "required",
zip: "required",
membertype: "required",
amount: "required",
state: "required",
mt: "required",
email: true,
if (billing_address == 1) {
alert(billing_address);
billing_first: "required",
billing_last: "required",
billing_address: "required",
billing_city: "required",
billing_state: "required",
billing_zip: "required",
billing_email: true
}
},
messages: {
first: "Please enter your first name",
}
});
});
