jquery validate - validating a field on pageload

Question

I\'ve got an input field on my plain html form that I would like to be marked as invalid (and the error message shown) from the moment the page loads.

Is this possible t

Answer 1

I think you would have to have the form you are validating be submit on the page load. Probably something like this:

   $(document).ready(function() {
       $('form').validate(/* set all of your validator options here */);
       $('form').trigger('submit');
    });
