Using DropKick with form validation.

Is it possible to use DropKick with form validation. See the form on my website where I have two select elements. Without using dropkick they would normally get validated. I am using jqueryvalidation to do my validation.
Hey Ben,
By default, Dropkick hides original select elements with display: none
. There's an option for .validate()
called ignore
which defaults to ":hidden"
. This means that it is ignoring the original select elements, and since Dropkick isn't a normal form control, no validation is being performed on them.
You have 2 possible solutions:
- Hide the original select elements another way.
- Override the default
ignore
option.
Hope this helps!
This what I ended up doing and it works as should!
ignore: {
hidden:"not(.selectoptions)",
hidden:"not(textarea.tinymce)"
},
I also added tinymce to my textarea
form field. It hides the original textarea
form field so, you need to include textarea.tinymce
in the same do not ignore option.
Thanks!
