Validate plugin and Drupal 7

in Using jQuery Plugins • 12 years ago

I'm trying to add jQuery validate plugin functionality to a D7 form. Here's what I've done so far:

Enabled jQuery update module, so we're using jQuery 1.4.2
Placed validate plugin in my theme's script folder
Created form.js & called both it, and the validate plugin, in my .info file

Here's the initial contents of form.js:

(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function() {
// validate signup form on keyup and submit
var validator = $("#webform-client-form-53").validate({
$("#edit-submitted-contact-first-name").rules("add", {
required: true,
minlength: 2,
messages: {
required: "Required input",
minlength: jQuery.format("Please, at least {0} characters are necessary")
}
});
})
})
})(jQuery);

But, developer tools shows a syntax error at line 6:

$("#edit-submitted-contact-first-name").rules("add", {

The error is an unexpected "(". This is the syntax shown in the documentation, so I don't see what’s wrong here. After some checking, I was able to determine that it's the 2nd "(" that in line 6 that is being flagged.

Thanks for looking,

you are placing your rules add function inside the options object for the validate function which can't be done, just close the validate

var validator = $("#webform-client-form-53").validate({/* this is an object for all of the options settings and requires strict object syntax */}) // close function since you are using default settings

$("#edit-submitted-contact-first-name").rules("add", {

// rule object here

});

Thanks; that was it, of course. :-)
