jQuery dynamic validation

Question

Hi there Im trying to do a few things with jQuery validation plugin and seems stuck on one place.

Here is some code:

Answer 1

Try adding the rules first and then calling $('#myform').validate()

It will not work. You have to call validate method first.

Using input names approach

I know i can do it using names as you mentioned above. But unfortunately i will have to use ids.

content will not be constant. It will vary depending on some rules. So as a result almost each time i will have a different page. There are will be many controls with different ids. many validation groups etc.

So using "names approach" just doesnt meet my requirements.

Any thoughts how to use $(selector).rules('add') approach??

P.S. I've found following example http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2009/2/22/Using-jQuery-to-add-form-fields--with-validation and it works pretty nice and there is nothing special in code.
