Getting cannot call method of undefined using JQuery Form Validator
Question
I'm using the Jquery form validator ( http://formvalidator.net/ ) and I'm having trouble validating SELECT boxes. I've searched the above site and found NOTHING. I have found this article on StackOverflow. ( jQuery select box validation )
But it doesn't work.... I get "cannot call method of undefined".
$(document).ready(function() {
//First validate the form
$.validate({
addValidClassOnAll: true,
rules: {
states: {
requiredState: true
},
color: {
requiredColor: true
},
size: {
requiredSize: true
}
},
onError: function() {
console.log('Form Validation failed');
return false;
},
onSuccess: function() {
console.log('Form is valid!');
return true; //Return False Will stop the submission of the form
}
});
$.validator.addMethod('requiredState', function(value) {
return (value !== 'XX');
}, "State required");
$.validator.addMethod('requiredColor', function(value) {
return (value !== 'select');
}, "Please select a Color");
$.validator.addMethod('requiredSize', function(value) {
return (value !== 'select');
}, "Please select a Size");
});
Using the js file: jquery.form-validator.js, there's no need to preface the $.validate... with the form name. But if I do, the validator doesn't work.
But if I don't, the addMethod() doesn't work... So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you, all.
Peter

checkout this Fiddle it works, you have to declare your validation methods before rules declaration and use
$("#formNewShip").validate({})
Edit:
To require firstame, you should add this to your rules:
fname: {
required: true
},

I made a fiddle and it works fine:
I added the form selector and removed the onSuccess and onError handlers as they seemed superfluous, but the behaviour is exactly as I would expect.
Check that you're using the same version of the jquery validator code as my fiddle (CDN at http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.11.1/jquery.validate.js )
