jQuery Validation Plugin - Enable 'Eager' Validation only after and Invalid Submit
- by Ryan Fitzer
By default, if a user enters a value in a field, the 'eager' validation kicks in. Is there any way to disable 'eager' validation before submit and then enable it after an invalid submit has happened?
I've used $.validator.setDefaults() to initially set the onkeyup and onfocusout properties to false.
In the invalidHandler method I rerun the $.validator.setDefaults(), setting onkeyup and onfocusout properties to true.
No luck with this approach.
Basically, I only want the 'eager' validation to take place after the user tries to submit an invalid form.
Thanks for any help.
