jQuery Validator's "required" not working when value is set at statup
- by nandrew
Hello,
I have a problem with jQuery Validator. I want to use "required" property on a text input. It doesn't work when input has set value attribute by HTML code (tested on Firefox (3.5), and on IE 8 - on IE it works a bit better).
Story:
1. Page loads;
2. value is cleared;
3. focus is changed.
4. Nothing happens but the error message should be displayed;
5. getting back to the field and typing some characters.
6. changing focus;
7. getting back to the field;
8. clearing the field.
9. Error is displayed even before leaving the field.
The HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
<script src="Web/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Web/Scripts/jquery.validate.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" id="name1" name="name1" value="test" /><br />
<input type="text" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var validator = $("form").validate({
rules: {
name1: {
required: true,
minlength: 2
}
},
messages: {
name1: "bad name"
},
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
