Hello,

i have a problem with the jquery validation plugin of Jörn Zaefferer.

In xslt i generate the validation function. The result of it is:

$("document").ready(function() {     
  $("#template").validate({
    rules: {
      aa:  {required:  $("#aaaa").closest("tr").hasClass("hiddenTR") ? false: true,text: true },
      bb:  {required:  $("#bbbb").closest("tr").hasClass("hiddenTR") ? false: true,datum: true },
      cc:  {required:  $("#cccc").closest("tr").hasClass("hiddenTR") ? false: true },
      dd:  {required:  $("#dddd").closest("tr").hasClass("hiddenTR") ? false: true,dec2: true },
      ee:  {required:  $("#eeee").closest("tr").hasClass("hiddenTR") ? false: true,minlength: 2,maxlength: 5,dec2: true },
      ff:  {required:  $("#ffff").closest("tr").hasClass("hiddenTR") ? false: true,dec2: true  }
                 },
        messages: {
           }
        });

});

At page load the function is initialised but field "dd" is not visible so the required is false. but when i change a value in a selectbox the field "dd" appears but it will not validate because the function still thinks it's false.

When i use .rules("add", then it works. But i don't want it because i don't know if the field is required or what kind of field it is.
unless u can use something $("#dd").rules("add", { $("#dd").attr("validate").val() });




is there some kind of refresh that re-initialise the function or an other soluction

Thanks
