use jQuery form validation equalTo rule for dynamically generated forms
Question
I have n forms on one page. Each one has two email address fields (normal field and verification). What I want to do is to set a equalTo rule for the two fields. What I am doing now is this:
$(".contactform").validate({
onsubmit: true,
onkeydown: false,
onkeyup: false,
onfocusin: false,
onfocusout: false,
onchange: false,
onclick: false,
rules: {
email_veri: {
equalTo: ".email"
}
}
});
But this is obviously not working as the id of email and email_veri is different in every form. I read that it is possible to set a validation rule directly on a field but I didn't find out how. I hope someone can help.

This may be useful, from "jQuery Validation with multiple (mostly) identical forms" at http://www.epalla.com/2009/12/jquery-validation-with-multiple-forms/
Their answer is to validate each form separately:
$(".question_form").each(function() {
$(this).validate(
rules: {
email_veri: {
equalTo: ".email"
}
);
});

Hiya Created a very simple demo for you: http://jsfiddle.net/bY5P6/
SO if you will type different email and email verification field then you will get equal to message validation.
further documentation for it: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Methods/equalTo
or for multiple forms please see here: Using JQuery Validate Plugin to validate multiple form fields with identical names
In case you are working with multiple forms please make sure quote :
validation requires field names to be unique except for radio buttons and check boxes.

Jquery Code
//================================= AZIONE FORM
$('#submit').click(function() {
$('#mailer').submit();
return false;
});
//================================= VALIDAZIONE FORM
$('#mailer').validate({
focusInvalid: false,
debug: true,
rules: {
name: {
required: true
},
email_address: {
required: true,
email: true
},
email_address_veri: {
required: true,
email: true,
equalTo: ".email"
},
request: {
required: true
}
},
messages: {
name: {
required: 'name required'
},
email_address: {
required: 'email required',
email: 'email address is not valid'
},
email_address_veri: {
required: 'email required',
email: 'email address verification is not valid',
equalTo: "Please enter the same email as above"
},
request: {
required: 'request required'
}
}
});
