POHow to exempt element to be validated?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm using the validation plugin for jquery: <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation</a>.</p> <p>I want to know how would I exempt a field to be validated? Currently all fields inside the form are automatically checked.</p> <hr> <p>I am not sure if this will help since the element that I want to exempt is not included (obviously :) )</p> <pre><code> $("#contactForm").validate({ rules: { first_name:{required: true,charsonly:true,minlength: 1 }, last_name:{required:true,charsonly:true,minlength: 1 }, birthday:{required:true,min:1,max:31 }, birthmonth:"required", birthyear:"required", username: {required: true,minlength:1,maxlength:32,username:true,notChinese:true,noSpecial:true}, password1:{required:true,minlength: 5,maxlength: 10, alphaNum: true }, password2:{required:true,minlength: 5,maxlength: 10, alphaNum: true, equalTo: "#password1"}, currency:"required", address:{required: true,noSpecial:true,minlength:2}, city:{required: true,noSpecial:true,minlength:2}, state:{noSpecial:true}, countrycode:"required", zip:{required:true,zipTest:true}, email:{required:true,email: true}, confirmemail:{required: true,equalTo: "#email",email:true}, phone:{required: true,minlength:6,maxlength:20,phoneUS:true}, cellphone:{required: true,minlength:6,maxlength:20,phoneUS:true}, custom06:{acceptIM:true} } }); </code></pre> <hr> <p>Found it. I used the ignore validation method.</p> <hr> <p>Here's the code</p> <pre><code>$("#myform").validate({ ignore: ".ignore" }) </code></pre>
