switch on and off combobox required [Solved]

[devnull]

How can I programmatically switch a combobox between being required and not required.

Code:

      $('#WX').combobox('options').required = true;
      $('#WX').combobox('validate');

Can a method be added to do this ?

The extended 'required' method of validatebox component can be achieved as below:

Code:

$.extend($.fn.validatebox.methods, {
	required: function(jq, required){
		return jq.each(function(){
			var opts = $(this).validatebox('options');
			opts.required = required != undefined ? required : true;
			$(this).validatebox('validate');
		})
	}
})

Usage example:

Code:

$('#WX').combobox('required', false);  // disable required validation
$('#WX').combobox('required');  // enable required validation

Thanks so much, exactly what I was looking for :-)
