jquery.validation - how to ignore default values when validating mandatory fields
- by jack
I am using jquery validation plugin to validate a registration form.
Each text input field has instructions pre-filled as values in the input box
ex: for a text-input box id='Name', the default value will be set to 'Enter Your Name'. I have pasted below sample code:
<input type="text" id="Name" value="Enter Your Name" onfocus="if(this.value == 'Your Name'){this.value = '';}" type="text" class="required" onblur="if(this.value == ''){this.value='Your Name';}" size="25" />
What I need to know is how to specify in the validation rule such that the plugin throws a required field error if the input box contains either the default message or empty values.
Help much appreciated.
