I am using jQuery Validation Plugin for form validation and I am not able to validate list/select box
Add this in your rule
select:{
required: function(element) {
if( $("#select").val() =='-1'){
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
}
Why don't you use the value of the condition?
required: function(elm) {
return (elm.options[elm.options.selectedIndex].value != "-1");
}
This does the same as the solution from Robin, but is much shorter.
You can use Jquery Validator custom rule.
A similar example is discussed here. The code below is from the example:
// add the rule here
$.validator.addMethod("valueNotEquals", function(value, element, arg){
return arg != value;
}, "Value must not equal arg.");
// configure your validation
$("form").validate({
rules: {
SelectName: { valueNotEquals: "-1" }
},
messages: {
SelectName: { valueNotEquals: "Please select an item!" }
}
});
Put <option value="">Choose an option</option>
as blank rather than -1
using jquery validation
rules: {
select: "required"
}
Or use the element value:
required: function(elm) {
if(elm.options[elm.options.selectedIndex].value != "-1") {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
