jQuery Validation Plugin: Validating Checkboxes with Different Names

Question

I have a set of 4 checkboxes, all with different names, and require that at least 1 is checked.

I have set the class on all of them to \'require-one\'.

I think @Anurag was on the right path. Check out this working version...

Same idea just a different way of doing it.

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
    $.validator.addMethod('validate-checkbox-oneormore', function (value) {
        return $('.require-one:checked').size() != 0; }, 'need a value');

    jQuery('#itemForm').validate({});
});
