I am trying to use this plugin: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation
Where #user_new is the id for my
form, this is what my code looks like:
$('#user_new').validate({
rules: {
user[username]: "required",
user[email]: {
required: true,
email: true
}
},
messages: {
user[username]: "Please specify your name",
user[email]: {
required: "We need your email address to contact you",
email: "Your email address must be in the format of
[email protected]"
}
}
})
Where these are how my input fields look when the page is rendered (generated by Rails):
<input class="clearField curved" id="user_f_name" name="user[f_name]" size="30" type="text" value="First Name" /><br />
<input class="clearField curved" id="user_l_name" name="user[l_name]" size="30" type="text" value="Last Name" /><br />
<input class="clearField curved" id="user_username" name="user[username]" size="30" type="text" value="Username" /><br />
<input class="clearField curved" id="user_password" name="user[password]" size="30" type="password" value="Password" /><br />
<input class="clearField curved" id="user_password_confirmation" name="user[password_confirmation]" size="30" type="password" value="Password" /><br />
<input class="clearField curved" id="user_email" name="user[email]" size="30" type="text" value="Email Address" /><br />
I was just trying to validate username & email first. Then take it from there.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to specify the syntax and the rules for working with this plugin.
Help!
