// add a method. calls one built-in method, too.
jQuery.validator.addMethod("optdate", function(value, element) {
return jQuery.validator.methods['date'].call(
this,value,element
)||value==("0000/00/00");
}, "Please enter a valid date."
);
// connect it to a css class
jQuery.validator.addClassRules({
optdate : { optdate : true }
});
$("form").validate({
rules: {
'user_name': {
// here jquery validate will start a GET request, to
// /interface/users/is_username_valid?user_name=<input_value>
// the response should be "raw text", with content "true" or "false" only
remote: '/interface/users/is_username_valid'
},
},
远程代码应该像这样:
class Interface::UsersController < ActionController::Base
def is_username_valid
render :text => !User.exists?(:user_name => params[:user_name])
end
end
