Question

I am trying to use the Jquery Validate Plugin and I was able to figure out how to use it on static fields.

My problem is on how to used it on my dynamic forms. I created a fiddle to discuss my problem. Hope you can have patience on reading this. The fiddle link is here

Now, here’s what I want to do, validate the Machine ID entered on each text box and make sure that it is unique. Say you enter ABCD-123 twice, the system should alert you that it is not unique.

Hoping somebody could lend me a hand on this. Thanks

Answer 1

first of all – put comments in your code while you write.

the error is here:

 var arrElements = $(".machineID");

arrElements is always empty, there is no element with machineID class

and your each doesn’t work. I refactored it http://jsfiddle.net/PaTJ4/

Your code could use some more fixes, it’s a bit too complicated for that task. But now it works.

good luck
