[jquery.validate plugin] and form wizard issue.
Hello all,
I'm currently using a form wizard with next and back buttons to make the form less unobtrusive. So far the wizard works well with the next button. . However, I am running into an issue. The issue has to do with showing the error messages. For demo purposes I hard coded the error message:
validate.showErrors({"birth_date": "Birthdate error!", "species": "Species error!"});
The form wizard disables the element until the next button is clicked and the div that has the element in is shown. The species error message is shown but the birth_date message isn't. I have a feeling the reason for this is, the birth_date field is disabled and not shown until the hidden div is shown when moving to it by hitting the next button(I guess that makes sence). Is there a way to force the error message to be shown even if the div is hidden and the element is disabled? Please let me know if my question is not clear and I'll do my best to explain again.
Thank You,
