I’m running into a strange issue in WebKit browsers, where the “email” field on my form won’t trigger validation by the jQuery validation plugin (using the built-in email method).
Works in FF and IE, but Safari and Chrome don’t seem to like it.
I’ve put together a sample page here with just the form and scripts for debugging: http://bit.ly/9SFv7r
Would anyone be able to shed some light on what I’m missing?
Thanks!
Ran into the same problem. It’s something to do with
<input type="email" />Validation works fine in Chrome if you change to
<input type="text" />It doesn’t seem to be a browser issue, as the validator also doesn’t work in Opera 10.61, which supports the email input type.
Not sure if it’s an issue with jQuery or the Validator plug-in, as I know that non-supported input types are converted to text fields in non-supportive browsers in the background (which is why it works in Firefox/IE).
