Question

Using the jQuery plugin found here:

http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation

I have a form, that when certain checkboxes are selected, additional fields are shown to the user. I would like to make these fields required when they click the checkbox, and unrequired if they unselect it.

Is there a way to dynamically set requirements for elements?

Answer 1

I think simplest approach is to attach the “required” class using jquery to these elements on click.
