ValidateBox

Override defaults with $.fn.validatebox.defaults.

Usage

Validate Rule

The validate rule is defined by using required and validType property, here are the rules already implemented:

  • email: Match email regex rule.
  • url: Match URL regex rule.
  • length[0,100]: Between x and x characters allowed.
  • remote['http://.../action.do','paramName']: Send ajax request to do validate value, return 'true' when successfully.

To custom validate rule, override $.fn.validatebox.defaults.rules that defines a validator function and invalid message. For example, to define a minLength valid type:
