[Form Validation] Add Prompt Not Working As Expected

[Raywin88]

Hi thank you for this awesome framework.
Currently I am facing a problem on validation.
I need a extra rule or optional rule.

let say I have a dropdown selection which have empty type rule, but when it value is other, it will appear another text box, so this text box also will have empty type rule.
please check here http://jsfiddle.net/dHM7r/

I have try $('.form').form('add prompt', identifier, 'Error message');
Sorry, i could not make it success. Anyone have face this similar problem?

Thank in advance.

Have I misunderstood the problem here? The identifier seems to have been wrong? http://jsfiddle.net/dHM7r/10/ I made a few changes, and it seems to work as I'd expect?

Oh derp. I understand: The other doesn't validate, because only title is checked to be empty. But if you check both, then o_title will be empty when selecting from the dropdown. Interesting problem.

The logical thing to do, is to create a validation which depends on another field being set to "other" or such (probably configured), and then you run the embedded rule?

Something like this as the interface:

rules : [{
                type : 'ifFieldIs[title, other, empty]',
                prompt : 'Please do selection.'
            }]

When this rule is applied to o_title, it will only attempt to run the validation, if firstParam(title) is set to secondParam(other). The final validation could be run from within the rule by calling $.fn.form.validate.rule, but I'm not entirely sure how you could grab the o_title field, from within the validator, to pass to rule, alongside the thirdParam.

I am unsure whether this should be part of core. Not making it part of core, would mean that you could statically reference o_title and such, which is a maintenance nightmare, but it would work. Depends what @jlukic thinks in regards to the projects goals & possible implementations.

There has been no activity in this thread for 90 days. While we care about every issue and we’d love to see this fixed, the core team’s time is limited so we have to focus our attention on the issues that are most pressing. Therefore, we will likely not be able to get to this one.

However, PRs for this issue will of course be accepted and welcome!

If there is no more activity in the next 90 days, this issue will be closed automatically for housekeeping. To prevent this, simply leave a reply here. Thanks!

Looks like it is still not fixed?
