Coding up an example in Jquery 1.3 with PHP Chapter 4 forms and Form Validation
At first the book has you use the jquery.validate.min.js plugin with rules in the document section, which works fine. Then he has you move the rules to a php array, so I wrote the code, no problem, then he has you replace the client-side with
'rules' : <?php echo json_encode($form_rules); ?>
this simply does not work IE flags it as an error and Firefox does nothing.
a test shows it returns ("name":{required":true),"email":{required:true}}
