Can the jQuery validate plugin be used to sanitize fields to prevent SQL injection? I got the impression that it does but it's not working with the standard settings and I haven't found any information on how specifically to set it up.
These are my current settings:
$(document).ready(function() {
// validate signup form on keyup and submit
var validator = $("#customer_info").validate({
rules: {
fname: "required",
lname: "required",
user_name: {
required: true,
remote: "check_username.php"
},
password: {
required: true,
minlength: 6
},
email: {
required: true,
email: true,
},
security_question: "required",
terms: "required",
},
messages: {
fname: "",
lname: "",
user_name: {
required: "",
remote: jQuery.format('</br>User Name {0} already in use'),
