Question

I have a form built dynamically by php script with a for/loop:

<form id="formDay">
    {loop="$elenco"}
        <input type="text" name="day[{$value.day}][date]">
    {/loop}
</form>

This form I try to validate in this way

$('#formDay').validate({
    rules: {
        "input[name^='day']": {
            required: true,
            date: true
         }
    }
});

but doesn’t work because it can not find the fields that beginning with “day”.
Is it possibile to resolve this problem with this plugin (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation)?

UPDATE 1:
Sorry, I was my mistake: I wanted to write “day” and not “giornata” 😉

I believe you just can just add the classes “required date” in your php code.
The validation plugin can also work that way!

<form id="formDay">
    {loop="$elenco"}
        <input type="text" class="required date" name="day[{$value.day}][date]">
    {/loop}
</form>
