Question

I’m using the jQuery form validator from http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation#Validator

How do I sto other input buttons from validating.

input button 1: validates the form
input button 2: must not validate

thanks in advance

Answer 1

In most browsers, the default action for <button> or <input type="button"> is submit, and jQuery Validation validates on submit. You can use <button type="button"> instead. Clicking this kind of button does not validate the form.

It is recommendable to add type="submit" for button element even if you want it to submit, because the default type for <button> is different in some browsers.
