[jQuery] [validate] does not work with fields, which have a dot "." char in their name
Subject pretty much states it all.
Details: I have a form like this
<form action="register.castle" method="post" id="register">
<label for="account_name">Name</label>
<input type="text" id="account_name" name="account.name" value=""
class="textbox" />
<br /><span class="descr">some description</span>
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" value=""
class="textbox" />
<span class="descr">more description</span>
<input type="image" src="register-button.gif" alt="Register" />
</form>
and setup validation like:
$(function() {
$('#register').validate({
debug: true,
submitHandler: function() { alert("submitted!"); },
rules: {
account_name: "required"
password: {
required: true,
minlength: 6
}
}
});
});
So, when I leave the form blank and click the register input,
validation fires up and displays default "required" message for
password field, but not for account_name field. SubmitHandler shows
the alert. Seems like fields with dot(s) in their names are ignored
somehow.
