jQuery plugin, return value from function
- by Marius
Hello there,
Markup:
<input type="text" name="email" />
Code:
$(':text').focusout(function(){
$(this).validate(function(){
$(this).attr('name');
});
});
Plugin:
(function($){
$.fn.validate = function(type) {
return this.each(function(type) {
if (type == 'email') {
matches = this.val().match('/.+@.+\..{2,7}/');
(matches != null) ? alert('valid') : alert('invalid');
}
/*else if (type == 'name') {
}
else if (type == 'age') {
}
else if (type == 'text') {
}*/
else {
alert('total failure');
}
});
};
})(jQuery);
The problem is that when I execute the code above, it runs the plugin as if type was a string: "function(){
$(this).attr('name');
});" instead of executing it as a function. How do I solve this?
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Marius
