[jQuery] validate plugin step by step form
Hi, I'm creating a step by step form using jquery ui tabs and
validation plugin, the problem is that I've got just one form ( and I
have to ) so on first step the form is validated but all errors an
others steps are displayed.
I'm using an approach of http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/multipart/
but I've got specific messages and validations.
Something like
var v=$("#saverForm").validate(
{
debug: true,
focusCleanup : false,
rules: {
"signupDetails.hasUnderstoodDeclaration" : "required",
applicantType: "required",
title: "required",
},
messages:{
"signupDetails.hasUnderstoodDeclaration" : "Please accept The
terms and conditions",
applicantType: "Please select an option.",
title: "Please choose your title.",
firstname: "Please enter your first name.",
lastname: "Please enter your surname.",
});
and a lot more fields.
Is there any way I can add rules an messages to the form rather than
add them to the fields??
or can I create different form.validate() variables and then call them
depending oin which step am I?
something like
v[0] =$("#saverForm").validate( ....some set of 2 rules for example )
v[1] =$("#saverForm").validate( ....some set of 10 rules for example
different than above)
Many thanks
