Question

I know that to add a validator with jQuery you would do something like this:

 $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#form1").validate({
                rules: {
                    <%=txtUserName.UniqueID %>: {
                    maxlength: 5,
}

But how would I add to the rules from the code behind, say for example add the required rule to the textbox.

How would I go about doing that?

Thanks in advance.

Solve this by building up a string query with the StringBuilder then registering the script on the page with :

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock
