Question

I am using the jQuery Validate plugin on my form, and was wondering how I would set every field to be required by default?

I am using a custom method called ‘methodname’ and I tried the following code to no avail:

$.validator.setDefaults({
    methodname : true
});

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Quick’n’dirty fix:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#myform input, #myform textarea').not([type="submit"]).addClass('required');
});
