Question

this is my validation function , it works fine when there is one form and when there are more than one form in single page its not working .

<script>
    $(function() {
        $("form").validity(function() {
            $("#name").require();
        });    
    });    
</script>

My forms are like

<form action="#" method="post" id="firstform">
<input type="text" id="name">
</form>
<form action="#" method="post" id="secondform">
<input type="text" id="name_othername">
</form>

can anyone give me suggestions, how to call the first form ids
thanks

Answer 1

You can give both name-fields same class and instead of id you can call element by class. If you call specific form you can validate only that forms name-field:

$("#firstform").validity(function() {
    $(this).find(".name_class").require();
}); 

<form action="#" method="post" id="firstform">
<input type="text" id="name" class="name_class">
</form>
<form action="#" method="post" id="secondform">
<input type="text" id="name_othername" class="name_class">
</form>
