I am new to jquery, I am trying to check a group of checkboxes [] using a validation plugin . After searching the web, I came across this AddMethod (), which seems to solve the checkbox problem, but I can't find any piece of code that explains how to apply the new method name to validate ().
Here is my code of what I'm trying to achieve
<script type="text/javascript"> jQuery.validator.addMethod('minchecked',function(value, element) { return $(element).filter(':checked').length >= 1; }, 'please make a selection'); $(document).ready(function(){ $("#onlinesurvey").validate({ rules: { <!== do not know how apply the new method if it does go here ==> } }); }); </script> <html> <body> <form id="onlinesurvey"> <fieldset id="stageone"> <label for="q1a"><input type="checkbox" name="q1[]" id="q1a" value="Blue Square Casino" />Blue Square Casino</label> <label for="q1b"><input type="checkbox" name="q1[]" id="q1b" value="Paddy Power" />Paddy Power</label> <label for="q1c"><input type="checkbox" name="q1[]" id="q1c" value="Sky Vegas" />Sky Vegas</label> <label for="q1d"><input type="checkbox" name="q1[]" id="q1d" value="Virgin Casino" />Virgin Casino</label> <label for="q1e"><input type="checkbox" name="q1[]" id="q1e" value="Other(s)" />Other(s)</label> <label for="q1[]" class="error">Please make a selection</label> </div> <input type="button" value="next" class="next" /> </fieldset> </form> </body> </html>
