This famous jQuery plugin called Validate has the onfocusout option. But I want to use another, called "onfocusin", which is not documented, but exists inside the code, and the plugin author quoted it in response.
The code I tried:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("form").validate({
onsubmit: false,
onkeyup: false,
onfocusin: true,
onfocusout: false,
rules: {
nome: {
required: true,
minlength: 5
}
}
})
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="tutorial.php" method="post" enctype="text/plain" >
<input type="text" name="nome" id="nome" />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
And FireBug shows this error message when I 'focusin' the input:
validator.settings[eventType].call is not a function [Stop on this error]
validator.settings[eventType] && v...eventType].call(validator, this[0] );
jquery...date.js (line 305)
Now, the golden question: how can this be fixed?
