I have a set of 4 checkboxes, all with different names, and require that at least 1 is checked.
I know there are a few posts on here already trying to answer this question. The solution that seems to be most logical to me is the answer posted on Question 1734840, but I can't seem to get it working! What's wrong with my code? Or any other new coding ideas to get this working?
I have set the class on all of them to 'require-one'.
My jQuery code is
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#itemForm").validate({
highlight: function(element, errorClass, validClass) {
$(element).addClass(errorClass).removeClass(validClass);
$(element.form).find("label[for=" + element.name + "]")
.addClass("radioerror");
},
unhighlight: function(element, errorClass, validClass) {
$(element).removeClass(errorClass).addClass(validClass);
$(element.form).find("label[for=" + element.name + "]")
.removeClass("radioerror");
},
rules: {
'require-one': {
required : {
depends: function(element) {
var allBoxes = $('.require-one');
if (allBoxes.filter(':checked').length == 0) {
if (allBoxes.eq(element).length != 0) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
} ,
},
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
if ( element.is("#other_descrip") )
error.appendTo("#othererror" );
if ( element.is("#itemlist") )
error.appendTo("#itemerror" );
}
});
});
