Validate only one field at a time

in Using jQuery Plugins • 9 years ago

I have a form with 8 fields. I will start filling the form from top to bottom. First field is first-name, then last-name, then email etc. When I enter a special character in first-name, my first field, all the eight fields are getting validated and 'required' error message is shown.

I want only first-name field to be validated when I enter a special character in first-name.

How to do this?

I am using https://github.com/jzaefferer/jquery-validation

Special character is !@#$ etc. any non-letter character.

Hi Ramesh,

After I downloaded the zip file, extracted it and tried to run the index.html file inside the demo folder it did not run right. The paths to the scripts were incorrect. Did you fix these paths and now you have problems with what you are trying to do?

Ramesh,

I found some other errors in the zip file specifically in jquery.validate.js

Below is a screenshot of the line in question, it has an unmatched brace. This was after merely opening the file.
