Jquery Form Malsup with Validation

Jquery Form Malsup with Validation

Hi all,  

Hope someone can help, I'm using the malsup jquery form plugin which is great but I'm having trouble trying to validate with it.

My problem is that I have multiple forms which the same input fields, so I can submit each form separate with Ajax each has its own id updateAddress1, UpdateAddress2 ect..  For this reason I've binded each form seperatly.

php code:
for($i=1; $i<=$deliveryAddress; $i=$i+1)
{ echo "$('#updateProduct" . $i . "').ajaxForm(options);" }

This works to submit each form, but I have added a beforeSubmit: to validate.  I can get it to validate the current form fine, what I want to do is return a response to that specific form, such as address complete, or highlight blank inputs, how can I do if each for has a different id?

javascript code(check whether all fields contain text)

function showRequest(formData, jqForm, options) {
 for (var i=0; i < formData.length; i++) { 
        if (!formData[i].value) { 
// NEED TO SHOW ERROR ON CURRENT FORM
       return false;
        } 
// CURRENT FORM ADDRESS IS OK!
    } 
    return true;
}

Is their an easy way to bind the jquery form to all forms with the same id then update an element within that form to say the address is complete? 

I did find this code which looked like I could bind validation by adding a class to the form, but when I do that, the ajaxsubmit stops working

$(document).ready(function() { $(".validation").each(function() { $(this).validate(); }); });

I really hope someone out there is able to help - many thanks in advance!

Simon.
