I have a form that uses this plugin:
http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/
Works great - but I cant figure how to validate by a specific string in-putted into a text field. For example, I want to create a rule that only validates a field if the users input is "foo".
There is documentation here http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation#API_Documentation
But none of them seem to be the one I want. Does anyone know a way to get round this?
Thanks!
Simple one...
$.validator.addMethod("equals", function(value, element, string) {
return value === string;
}, $.validator.format("Please enter '{0}'"));
$("#form").validate({
rules: {
name: {
required: true,
equals: "foo"
}
}
});
Updated according to your requirement
$.validator.addMethod("equals", function(value, element, string) {
return $.inArray(value, string) !== -1;
}, $.validator.format("Please enter '{0}'"));
$("#form").validate({
rules: {
name: {
required: true,
equals: ["foo", "bar", 'blah"]
}
},
messages: {
name: "Please enter either '{0}' or '{1}' or '{2}'"
}
});
referred from Here
$.validator.addMethod(
"regex",
function(value, element, regexp) {
var re = new RegExp(regexp);
return this.optional(element) || re.test(value);
},
"Please check your input."
);
now validate textbox:
$("#Textbox").rules("add", { regex: "/* your regex */" })
