[jQuery] Validation Element ID differ from Element name
I'm using cakephp framework and I'm running into problem if the
element name if different from the element ID. Currently the form is
getting submitted w/o being validated, but if I change the textarea
name to "contact_description" then it will validate it. Also I would
like to make sure that atleast 1 checkbox has been selected but i'm
not sure how to add a custom function to multiple checkbox.
<form action="/" method="post" id="sendmessage">
<label for="contact_description">Send a message to project team</
label>
<div id="errorMessageBox">
<label for="contact_description" class="error">Please enter a message</
label>
<label for="developers" class="error">Please select a developer</
label>
</div>
<textarea id="contact_description" name="data[Project]
[contact_description]" class="text"></textarea>
<label for="developers">Select developers.</label>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><input class="checkbox" id="contact1" "type="checkbox"
value="email1" name="data[Projects][contact][]"/>Person1</td>
<td><input class="checkbox" id="contact2" type="checkbox"
value="email2" name="data[Projects][contact][]"/>Person2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<button type="submit" class="custom_button" value="Send a
message"><img src="/img/btn_send_a_message.gif" alt="Send a message" /
