Question

I have 2 fields in my (simplified) form. And I use jQuery Validate plugin to validate both of them, but only one field is validated – see live example.

What can be wrong here? How to validate both fields?

(there is similar question, but there is no solution)

Answer 1

Validation is in fact being performed for both fields – you’re just not getting an error message. If you do an inspect element (using Chromium, or Firefox with Firebug), you’ll see the input tag will have a class error.

You’re missing the <span></span> at the end of the div surrounding the last_name input field. Add that empty span, and you’ll see the error message come up.
