How to use jquery.validate plugin in cakephp form

Question

My jQuery code is:

$(document).ready(function(){   
  $(\'#StudentRegisterForm\').validate({          
    rules: {
      email: {
        required:true,
            


        

Answer 1

The first one is better to use, because this will maintain cake this->data structure, but second one is not. This is to remind that, when you will use the data[modelname][fieldname] give the class name in the input aray like:

input('email',array('type'=>'text','class' => array('required','email'),'error'=>false,'label'=>false,'div'=>false));  ?>
