To check string in jquery.validate

Question

for password validation i am using equalTo:\"#password\" Whether it is possible to check some sting by giving as equalTo:\"string to check\" in jqu

Answer 1

equalTo only takes a selector here, but you can make a custom method for the check you want:

jQuery.validator.addMethod("equals", function(value, element, param) { 
  return this.optional(element) || value === param; 
}, jQuery.format("You must enter {0}"));

Then you can use the a rule with the same name:

equals:"string to check"

You can test it here.

Answer 2

Override the equalTo: with below function

equalTo: function(element) {                    
                        if( ( 
                                $("#password").val() == "Your String Value Here"
                            ) {
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
