Jquery validation plugin not validate dynamic select

Question

Hello I'm having trouble with validation on dynamic select box. Jquery validation not validate the rest of dynamic select box instead the existing one. Noted that I'm using CakePHP 2.5, Bootstrap 3 , and Jquery validation.

Below is my code.

HTML

<?php echo $this->Form->create('Redemption',array('type'=>'file','id'=>'redeemForm')); ?>
    <div class="form-group">
       <div class="row"  id="proRow_0">
            <div class="col-md-4">
                <label>Product Purchased</label>
                    <?php echo $this->Form->input('Product.0.type_id',array('class'=>'form-control product-select','id'=>'product_0','label'=>false,'empty'=>array(''=>'Choose Product'),'div'=>false));?>
                </div>                      
            </div>
    </div>
    <div id="moreProduct"></div>
    <a id="add"><i class="fa fa-plus-circle"></i> Add More</a>
   <a id="remove"><i class="fa fa-minus-circle"></i> Remove</a> 

Javascript

    $('#add').on('click', function(event) {
        event.preventDefault(); 
        rmBtn.show();

        var productRow = $('#moreProduct');

        $.get('<?php echo $this->webroot;?>/redemptions/getProductType.json', function(data) {

Really appreciate your help and time. Thanks

Answer 1

First, don't attach anything to the submit event, instead use the submitHandler option of the $.validate call:

$('#redeemForm').validate({
  submitHandler:function(){
    //This is called when the form successfully submits with no validation errors
  }
});

Second, you need to attach the validation to the select right after you append it to the row. So, in your $.get handler, after you append the row, add your validation:

 //in your $.get handler
 productRow.append(newPRow);

 $('#product_'+index).rules('add',{
    required: true
 });

 var productTfield = $('.product-type-field');

 //...and it continues after here
